The World of Chinese

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.
