The Wandering Earth by Liu CixinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Personal Highlights: "The Wandering Earth", "Sun of China", "For the Benefit of Mankind", "Curse 5.0", "Cannonball" (last one requires reading "With Her Eyes" in this collection first) Honorable Mention: "Taking Care of God" for the premise's comedic potential. Overall more of the same if you've read The Three Body Problem trilogy (see previous thoughts), only a bit more uneven in quality this time around. Characters are caricatures of people serving mainly as vehicles to exposit astrophysics-based literally out of this world sci-fi concepts. Would love to see adaptations of a few of these although I've heard the Wandering Earth films have very little to do with the original story here.
