Throwback Review (2024)

In Ripple and Other Short Stories

It's like a book, a sequel to Paper Zoo, which combines sci-fi fantasy short stories, and is well written. The content of each episode is not very long, but it feels like the content that needs to be fully transmitted in that episode. Personally, the most favorite part is probably the first and the most deeply flavored part.

* The following may be scattered. Anyone interested in reading is advised to skip first.

I haven't read the Paper Zoo yet, but after reading two episodes, I ordered the Paper Zoo with your work, Ken Liu, immediately added because I liked it.

And as I said, the two favorite episodes were the first ones, where part of the humans had a project to colonize a new star so far away that all the adults in the ship would have died before they reached the new star, but the world discovered an immortal way of life and sent it to the first set of immigrants (fin about elves, very long lives, but can die), causing the people on the ship to choose whether to live immortal or die by age, and the next story is even further beyond imagination.

The other part is that when the Chinese people went to dig gold in Oiho, the writer confused who the Guan really was, just a big, red-faced man, similar to that person, or really that person, it was not clear, but the most confusing thing was that there were laws against the Chinese people in the 1800s and over, that living in a country like America was not so open to the Chinese people to settle easily.
