z los ensayos y relatos de Cixin Liu, el aclamado autor de El problema de los tres cuerpos.

La vista desde las estrellas recopila una gran variedad de textos cortos escritos en las últimas tres décadas por Cixin Liu, el mayor maestro de la ciencia ficción desde Isaac Asimov, gracias a su obra cumbre la Trilogía de los Tres Cuerpos. Los ensayos y entrevistas que en él se incluyen explican algunas de sus experiencias como lector, escritor y amante de la ciencia ficción a lo largo de toda su vida. Asimismo, en sus magistrales relatos de ficción, asistimos a la evolución de su voz imaginativa a través de los años. El resultado es la mirada única de una de las mentes más visionarias de nuestro tiempo.

«Somos alienígenas misteriosos entre la multitud. Saltamos como pulgas del pasado al futuro y del futuro al pasado, y flotamos como nubes de gas entre las nebulosas. En un abrir y cerrar de ojos, podemos llegar hasta los límites del universo, convertirnos en un quark o nadar dentro de un núcleo estelar... Ahora somos pocos y débiles, como las humildes luciérnagas, pero cada vez somos más y crecemos como la hierba en primavera. Los aficionados a la ciencia ficción somos los habitantes del futuro .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"We're mysterious aliens in the crowd. We jump like fleas from future to past and back again, and float like clouds of gas between nebulae; in a flash, we can reach the edge of the universe, or tunnel into a quark, or swim within a star-core. . . . We're as unassuming as fireflies, yet our numbers grow like grass in spring. We sci-fi fans are people from the future."―Cixin Liu, from the essay "Sci-Fi Fans"

A VIEW FROM THE STARS features a range of short works from the past three decades of New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu's prolific career, putting his nonfiction essays and short stories side-by-side for the first time. This collection includes essays and interviews that shed light on Liu's experiences as a reader, writer, and lover of science fiction throughout his life, as well as short fiction that gives glimpses into the evolution of his imaginative voice over the years.

"Science fiction without guile, without snark, without ironic disaffection and all its exhausting modern baggage. It just asks what would happen? Waits for someone to answer. And then it asks again."―NPR on the works of Cixin Liu
