A short story collection by one of the most award-winning SF authors today.


 The Hidden Girl and Other Stories

Saga Press, 2020, 411 pages



From stories about time-traveling assassins, to Black Mirror-esque tales of cryptocurrency and internet trolling, to heartbreaking narratives of parent-child relationships, The Hidden Girl and Other Stories is a far-reaching work that explores topical themes from the present and a visionary look at humanity’s future.

This collection includes a selection of Liu’s speculative-fiction stories over the past five years - 17 of his best - plus a new novelette. In addition, it also features an excerpt from The Veiled Throne, the third book in Liu’s epic fantasy series The Dandelion Dynasty.


Wuxia assassins, transhumanism, sex with aliens, futuristic blockchains, and post-singularity AIs. )
