In 1998, Science Fiction World planned Han Song's first anthology of science fiction works, "Cosmic Tombstone". After 27 years, Science Fiction World grandly launches Han Song's collection of classic science fiction works. This book is a collection of fourteen important works by Han Song, including the Hugo Award-nominated masterpiece "The Voyage Without Answers", the dystopian black fable "The Fear of Seeing", the absurd "Chinese dystopia" "Old Age", and the "Subway Shock" that exposes cold humanity, etc. Han Song uses his pen as his sword, sharp and sharp, to depict the irony of modern civilization, the profound criticism of the ethics of science and technology, and the philosophical reflection on the ultimate destiny of mankind.

Han Song is a representative Chinese science fiction writer and is known as the "Philip Dick of contemporary China". His new novel "Hospital" trilogy explores the medical secrets of the near future era of artificial intelligence and ponders the biggest changes in life and human nature. It is the culmination of Han Song's dystopian ideological system and is enough to rewrite the history of Chinese science fiction. The first "Hospital" put forward the subversive values ​​​​of the "pharmaceutical era", "Seeing a doctor is first of all a matter of faith; life is a treatment package." The second part, "Exorcism," further depicts a brief history of future patients in the "drug war" and outlines the evolution of medical artificial intelligence. As the final chapter of the trilogy, "The Undead" constructs the medical society of the Mars Hospital on the Day of Resurrection. The rise and collapse of the "pharmaceutical empire" hints at the secret of life's "original death or primary death", and the end of the world must be unspeakable.

The protagonist suddenly fell ill while on a business trip to City C. He was sent to a strange hospital and experienced various absurd but meaningful events. He wanted to escape, but was forced to undergo an operation... The novel uses a distinctive "Han Song style" to construct a deep and rich "Utopia" time and space. From the current hot topic of medical and health care, it cuts into the hard-to-reach dark sides of human social systems and cultural psychology, penetrates the chaos of life, and re-examines the reality and illusion that we are blind to.
