  • Of Ants and Dinosaurs

    Cixin Liu

    Hardcover (Head of Zeus, April 2, 2020)
    In a sunlit clearing in central Gondwana, on an otherwise ordinary day in the late Cretaceous, the seeds of Earth's first and greatest civilization were sown in the grisly aftermath of a Tyrannosaurus' lunch. Throughout the universe, intelligence is a rare and fragile commodity – a fleeting glimmer in the long night of cosmic history. That Earth should harbour not just one but two intelligent species at the same time, defies the odds. That these species, so unalike – and yet so complementary – should forge an alliance that kindled a civilization defies logic. But time is endless and everything comes to pass eventually... The alliance between ants and dinosaurs, was of course, based on dentistry. Yet from such humble beginnings came writing, mathematics, computers, fusion, antimatter and even space travel – a veritable Age of Wonder! But such magnificent industry comes at a price – a price paid first by Earth's biosphere, and then by all those dependent on it. And yet the Dinosaurs refused to heed the Ants' warning of impending ecological collapse, leaving the Ant Federation facing a single dilemma: destroy the dinosaurs, destroy a civilization... or perish alongside them?
  • Robots and Dinosaurs

    language (The Key Publishing House inc., Oct. 30, 2012)
    It's the year 4173. Humans mastered space travel a long time ago and left Earth to find greener pastures on faraway planets. Before they left, however, they created thousands upon thousands of super intelligent robots. Sadly, the robots were left behind on Earth by their former human companions, so they did what any group of super intelligent robots left behind on Earth would do - they cloned dinosaurs to be their friends! Did I mention that when they cloned the dinosaurs they gave them bigger brains so they could talk? Well, they did. So there you have it - it's the distant future, in a world of robots and dinosaurs.
