We jump like fleas from future to past and back again, and float like clouds of gas between nebulae; in a flash, we can reach the edge of the universe, or tunnel into a quark, or swim within a star-core...

We sci-fi fans are people from the future.' -   Cixin Liu, from the essay 'Sci-Fi Fans' A View from the Stars  features a range of short works from the past three decades of  New York Times  bestselling author Cixin Liu's prolific career, putting his nonfiction essays and short stories side-by-side for the first time.
