From New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu, The Wandering Earth is a science fiction short story collection featuring the title tale--the basis for the blockbuster international film, now streaming on Netflix. These ten stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, are a blazingly original ode to planet Earth, its pasts, and its futures. Liu's fiction takes 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. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

One of the most interesting hard scifi world setup! I really love the idea about the struggle of humanity to save the earth from the dying sun. I remembered the first time i know the life cycle of the stars in highschool, i wondered how could humanity do to prevent their extinction. This novel satisfied all of my teenage wandering thoughts.
However, it is very unfortunate it is only a short novel. The author could expand the story even more. Keep the pace slow, so we can explore the unimaginable world.
I'm afraid I prefer Cixin Liu's full length novels over typhus short stories. Although I liked some stories, I didn't completely enjoyed they. Maybe if I read other stories I'll enjoy them more.
As the sun is dying, humanity decides to use the earth as a spaceship to save itself... A giant leap of faith and the biggest and longest technological challenge it will ever face with its consequences on live, faith and what forms a society. Deeply interesting and quite a great piece of work even if a bit too short. I might give a try to the movie now!
