That's why this selection of short stories (some of which have won the prestigious Galaxy Award) become particularly useful to understand where such development might lead in the near future: from the research of immortality to the digital conservation of ancient temples, passing from medical breakthroughs, sensorial augmentations, innovative interfaces and dramatic ways to achieve richness, Chinese Science Fiction authors already live in a "preview" of tomorrow's world.
