Description
?
is a profound, accessibly written analysis that will appeal to both scholars and an engaged general audience.?
(Mengmeng Zhu,
, vol. 66, no. 1 (2025))
?
, like China Mi谷ville*s
, presents a puzzle involving two parallel worlds. It builds a bridge for both worlds, forms mutually stimulating mirror images for both cultures, and creates a beautiful structure of discursive exploration of the multiplicity of contemporary science fiction beyond national boundaries.?
(Mingwei Song, author of
(2023), SFRA Book Award Winner)
?Twenty-five years ago, many of us thought we were in a period of growth: the British SF Boom. Lyu*s very readable book locates this radical sf in its political and economic contexts, but his genius is to discuss a parallel event: the Chinese SF Boom. This is a brilliant exploration of the genre outside the Gernsback-Campbell Continuum of American SF.?
(Andrew M. Butler, Managing Editor,
)
?This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking analysis of two sf booms, one in Britain, one in China, which until now seemed invisible to each other. LYU Guangzhao*s carefully paired readings of key novels show that sf is a global phenomenon but that, like economic globalisation itself, it takes distinctive local forms. Let a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred science fictions boom!?
(Mark Bould, Professor of Film and Literature, UWE Bristol)
