Cixin Liu: To Hold Up the Sky (2020, Tor Books) 4 stars

Collection of imaginative science fiction.

Stories included are:

  • The Village Teacher
  • The Time Migration
  • 2018-04-01 …

A collection of unique, thought-provoking stories. They are similar yet quite different from the other sci-fi short stories I've read before. For instance, "The Time Migration" initially reminded me of Asimov's The End of Eternity, but it turned out to be quite different.

"The Village Teacher" is a tear-jerker but it rather predictable and a bit deus ex machina towards the end. But stick with it because it gets better. The stories in the second half are better than in the first half I think.
