SOSTENER EL CIELO

Nova, 2021

An awe-inspiring collection of stories from the acclaimed author of The Three-Body Problem.

Eight million readers worldwide.
Financial Times Book of the Year.

In Holding Up the Sky, Cixin Liu takes us across time and space. From a rural mountain community where students must turn to physics to prevent an alien invasion, to the coal mines of northern China, where a new technology could either save lives or unleash a fire that will burn for centuries. From a time much like our own, in which superstring computers predict our every move, to ten thousand years into the future, when humanity has finally managed to start anew. And even to the very end of the universe itself.

These stories, written between 1999 and 2017 and now published in Spanish, first emerged during decades of sweeping change in China. They will carry readers through time and space, guided by the most visionary science fiction writer of the 21st century.
