From New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu, The Wandering Earth is a science fiction short story collection featuring the title tale--the basis for the blockbuster international film, now streaming on Netflix. These ten stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, are a blazingly original ode to planet Earth, its pasts, and its futures. Liu's fiction takes the reader to the edge of the universe and the end of time, to meet stranger fates than we could have ever imagined. With a melancholic and keen understanding of human nature, Liu's stories show humanity's attempts to reason, navigate, and above all, survive in a desolate cosmos. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Very cinematic ending.

I'm afraid I prefer Cixin Liu's full length novels over typhus short stories. Although I liked some stories, I didn't completely enjoyed they. Maybe if I read other stories I'll enjoy them more.
