«UN FASCINANTE EXPERIMENTO MENTAL POR EL AUTOR DE EL PROBLEMA DE LOS TRES CUERPOS.� --THE GUARDIAN Hace ocho a�os y a ocho a�os luz de distancia, muri� una estrella. Esta noche, una supernova de alta energ�a finalmente llegar� a la Tierra. El cielo brillar� cuando esa nueva estrella florezca y, dentro de un a�o, todos los adultos mayores de trece a�os estar�n muertos. Sus cromosomas habr�n quedado irreversiblemente da�ados. As� comienza la cuenta regresiva hacia un nuevo mundo sin adultos. Los padres convierten ahora a sus hijos en aprendices, e intentan transmitir el conocimiento que estos necesitar�n para mantener el mundo en funcionamiento. Es posible que la �ltima generaci�n no quiera dar continuidad al legado de sus progenitores. Aunque imaginan un futuro mejor, tal vez no puedan escapar de los oscuros instintos de la humanidad. El gran maestro Cixin Liu nos invita a interpretar esta novela como una f�bula sobre el avance de las nuevas generaciones por un mundo incomprensible para sus mayores, y sobre el propio estado de la humanidad, que navega sola e infantilizada en el universo, sin un manual de usuario que la gu�e. «Como si Ursula K. Le Guin reescribiera El se�or de las moscas para la era cu�ntica.� --NPR «La respuesta de China a Arthur C. Clarke.� --The New Yorker ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From science fiction legend Cixin Liu, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Three-Body Problem, comes a vision of the future that reads "like Ursula K Le Guin rewriting The Lord of the Flies for the quantum age." (NPR). In those days, Earth was a planet in space.
In those days, Beijing was a city on Earth.
On this night, history as known to humanity came to an end. Eight light years away, a star has died, creating a supernova event that showers Earth in deadly levels of radiation. Within a year, everyone over the age of thirteen will die. And so the countdown begins. Parents apprentice their children and try to pass on the knowledge needed to keep the world running. But when the world is theirs, the last generation may not want to continue the legacy left to them. And in shaping the future however they want, will the children usher in an era of bright beginnings or final mistakes? "This audacious and ultimately optimistic early work will give Liu's English-reading fans a glimpse at his evolution as a writer and give any speculative fiction reader food for deep thought." -- Shelf Awareness
