The Wandering Earth sees humanity threatened by a dying Sun as it bloats into a red giant. Rather than flee Earth, engineers construct huge fusion engines to move the planet out of harm's way, setting a course for a new home, around a new star… Exactly the kind of exo-scale engineering you’d expect from the author of the Three-Body Problem books.
 
Cixin Liu is one of the most important voices in world Science Fiction. A bestseller in China, his novel, The Three-Body Problem, was the first translated work of SF ever to win the Hugo Award.
 
Here is the first collection of his short fiction: these stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, form a blazingly original ode to planet earth – its pasts and its futures. Liu's fictions take the reader to the edge of the universe and the end of time, to meet stranger fates than we could have ever imagined. With a melancholic and keen understanding of human nature, Liu's stories show humanity's attempts to reason, navigate and, above all, survive in a desolate cosmos.
 
Adapted from Cixin Liu's novella of the same name, The Wandering Earth is the first of Liu’s work to make it to the big screen. Described as 'China's first full-scale interstellar spectacular’, two weeks after it's release it had taken $609 million at the box office and was officially 2019’s highest grossing movie… worldwide.
