The Record of Yu's Tracks and the Nine Tripods Buried in Sand

This book is both a sweeping fantasy epic and a thought experiment about “the code of civilization.” It argues that myths are not fantasies consigned to the past, but prophecies of a future still taking shape. Where the Nine Cauldrons sank beneath the sands, civilization has time and again found the place to rise anew.

This is an epic of civilization that rewrites the genes of Huaxia through the patterns on the cauldrons and fulfills King Yu’s promise among the stars. It reveals that the most distant past holds the most far-reaching future.
