A review by cloramagone
To Hold Up the Sky, by Cixin Liu
challenging
dark
informative
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
3.0
in comparison to wandering earth, this is liu cixin's collection of lesser known and worse short stories. maybe i'm being too harsh, some of these stories are ok. mostly my expectations were very high after reading the entirety of 3 body, along with the wandering earth collection.
good:
-the village teacher (shoutout to the underpaid public education vessels known as teachers)
-the time migration
-contraction
-mirror (inception)
-the thinker (nice superposition of the china brain problem)
meh:
-2018-04-01
-fire in the earth
-full spectrum barrage jamming
-sea of dreams
-cloud of poems (this is just jorge luis borges' library of babel, once again)
