Bøker av Ken Liu

The first collection of Ken Liu's multi-award-winning science fiction and fantasy short stories.

In the second part of the Dandelion Dynasty Kuni Garu, now Emperor of Dara, confronts the challenges of supreme power: both from within and without.

A wily, charismatic bandit, and the vengeance-sworn son of a deposed duke cross paths as they each lead their own rebellion against the Emperor's brutal regime. Their unlikely friendship will drastically change the balance of power in Dara... but at what price?

Sixteen of Ken Liu's latest science fiction and fantasy stories - plus a new novelette.

A fresh, graceful translation of one of the most important and timeless classics-the foundational work of Daoism-by award-winning novelist Ken Liu, who contextualizes and demystifies this famously enigmatic text.

The conclusion to Ken Liu's chronicle of the Dandelion Dynasty, the epic fantasy series.

Nel nostro futuro non ci sono omini verdi, né raggi laser o viaggi nel tempo, non ci flotte spaziali o teletrasporti: noi, figli del futuro, ragazze e ragazzi del nuovo millennio viviamo già tra assistenti virtuali, intelligenze artificiali, cambiamenti climatici, Big Data, droni, stampanti 3D, social network e nanotecnologia. Se ignoriamo cosa sia un maniscalco ¿ il gommista moderno ¿ lo cerchiamo online con un motore di ricerca, ma sappiamo che domani le auto si guideranno e ripareranno da sole e che quel lavoro, come molti altri, potrebbe non esistere più. E allora che mestiere faremo noi? E qual è la vita che ci aspetta visto il ritmo dell¿accelerazione tecnologica? In questa antologia troverete molte risposte. Undici storie da sette paesi diversi raccontano di giovani promesse del basket futuro, di ragazzi capaci di manipolare i ricordi e ragazze innamorate di bolle di sapone potenziate dalla nanotecnologia, e ancora di bambini in fuga dal cambiamento climatico e di anziani che vedono la loro vita migliorare grazie ai nipoti e agli androidi che si prendono cura di loro. I figli del futuro sono già nati, sono già qui tra voi, ascoltate le nostre storie.
