Liu Cixin is one of China’s most prominent science fiction writers, who received the 2015 Hugo Award for Best Novel for his work The Three Body Problem, making him the first Asian writer to have won the award. As a writer, a sci-fi fan and a faithful family man, Liu Cixin has been carefully separating all three aspects of his life, while taking his readers on a journey through the vastness of space, the complexity of time, and the depth of human consciousness.
