Of ants and dinosaurs
Sixty-five million years ago, on an ordinary day in the Cretaceous Period, ants and dinosaurs accidentally collaborate. Forming an interdependent alliance, the two intelligent species create civilizations and evolve together. But as the ants become more united, the dinosaurs fall into disharmony; and when a crisis arises that threatens to destroy the Earth they share, the ants take actions that ultimately lead to unthinkable consequences. Liu Cixin depicts a strange yet familiar world in this alternate historical fable, and, as in all of his works, paints a grand picture of where our own history might be heading.
