"Drifting in Dimensions: A Collection of Science Fiction by Japanese Writers" contains masterpieces of short and medium-sized science fiction novels by 12 well-known Japanese writers, including Naoki Sanzo, Umino Juzo, Miyazawa Kenji, Sato Haruo, and Hirose Masaru. The selection is based on Japanese science fiction author and scholar Yokota Junya's "Japanese SF Classical Collection" and refers to Japanese science fiction scholar Ishikawa Yoshi's "World SF Complete Collection (34 volumes) Japan's SF". It was selected after repeated consideration. Because the prerequisite for selection is that the author has a conscious awareness of science fiction literature in the creation of the work, works such as war SF, political SF, and adventure SF that are strongly political and game-oriented in the budding and early stages of Japanese science fiction will not be selected. Since the writers Umino Juzo and Ran Ikujiro made great contributions to the development of early Japanese SF literature, two science fiction novels by each of them were selected, and one each by the other writers was selected. In addition, in view of the pioneering work of Haruno Oshikawa, a pioneering Japanese SF writer, his immature but significant short stories have been selected in the appendix. At the same time, in memory of the "first poet" of Japanese SF, Tadayao Nakayama, who has been almost forgotten by contemporary readers, two of his long SF poems have been specially included. 80% Of the works in this anthology are translated and published for the first time. The original intention of the anthology is to fill the huge gap in the translation and publication of early Japanese science fiction novels in China, so that more readers can understand how Japanese SF stepped into the glorious post-war era.
