The Age of Supernova
From the author of the bestselling The Three-Body Problem
The adults are dying. In a year, children will be all that’s left of humanity. And so begins… The Supernova Era
At that time, Beijing was a city on Earth. At that time, the Earth was a planet in the sky. That night, all of human history as we knew it came to an end.
Eight light-years away, a star has died, bathing the Earth in deadly radiation that will kill everyone over the age of thirteen within a year. And so the countdown begins. Parents do everything they can to pass on all the knowledge their children will need to keep the world running.
But the children's world refuses to follow the well-trodden paths of the adult world. They dream of a better world, a world full of games, but even children—just like adults—cannot resist the dark side of human nature, and their dream world begins to resemble a nightmare…
Reviews for The Supernova Era
It is no coincidence that a character in the novel mentions Golding’s Lord of the Flies, but Liu’s thought experiment is far stranger and wilder.
The Guardian
In Liu's hands, the saying “The children are the future” becomes more than just a cliché; it’s a launchpad for the kind of sharp and important thought experiment that only the best sci-fi can deliver.
