The Wandering Earth

About

In the title story, humanity discovers that the sun will soon destroy the Earth, and the only solution is to stop the planet's rotation and steer it across the galaxy to a new star system — a journey that will take 2,500 years. The other stories in this collection range from micro to cosmic, but they share Liu's signature combination of hard science, emotional weight, and ideas so large they require the entire universe as a canvas. This is the collection that introduced international audiences to the scope of Liu's imagination — stories that treat physics as poetry and civilizational dilemmas as intimate human choices. Science fiction at its most ambitious — stories where the stakes are nothing less than the survival of everything.
