Synopsis

This book is part of the “Insects: Chinese Science Fiction” hardcover series, the second volume, “The Future.” Titled A Century of Vigil, it features works by renowned science fiction writers including Wang Jinkang, He Xi, and Bao Zhuoran. Advances in technology often challenge established traditional ethics, sometimes even shaking the foundations of morality in human society. Should clones, for instance, be protected by law? Should scientists be allowed to artificially accelerate human evolution? Can people use future technologies to connect with computers and become “superhumans”? In this collection, science fiction writers such as Wang Jinkang, He Xi, and Bao Zhuoran offer different perspectives through their own distinctive lenses, making for thought-provoking reading.
