Tudor Vlad's Reviews > The Wandering Earth: Classic Science Fiction Collection

I can’t help but compare this short story collection with Ted Chiang’s Stories of Your Life and Others, which prior to reading this was my favorite science fiction short story collection. It still has my favorite short story (Story of Your Life) but while Ted Chiang had an amazing story coupled with some good and average ones, Liu Cixin had just great stories. The Wandering Earth has 11 stories and I can honestly say that the quality was consistent from start to end and all the stories were memorable, which is something I thought was impossible in such a big collection. The short stories, in my vision, felt like a display of death and destruction, an excuse to show the beauty of Earth and of the human kind, beauty that we oh so often take for granted.
