Ebook About All the years of human civilization represent an infinitesimal fraction of the time since life first burgeoned on planet Earth. How likely is it, then, in those great depths of time, that humanity alone benefitted from the spark of intelligence which gave rise to culture?This is the question posed by China’s preeminent science fiction writer for more than twenty years and Hugo-Award-winner for The Three-Body Problem Cixin Liu in his magisterial new short novel, The Cretaceous Past. The answer he offers is unexpected, supposing an unlikely alliance between the largest creatures in the world of the deep past and some of the smallest.And it all begins with a toothache.When a Tyrannosaurus rex suffers pain from meat trapped between its enormous teeth, a nearby colony of ants risks entering the great creature’s maw to make their own repast from the remains of the dinosaur’s most recent meal. From this humble beginning, over the course of millennia, a symbiotic civilization achieves amazing advances, reaching dizzying heights in countless endeavors scientific and social, facing dangers and exploiting opportunities at every turn. In this absorbing tale, Cixin Liu manages to describe the history of successive epochs of a might-have-been world, doing for the past what Olaf Stapledon’s classic Last and First Men did for the future. Here, Liu embarks on a new journey, sure to please the legions of devoted readers of the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy.The Cretaceous Past offers Liu at his finest, demonstrating flights of imagination and depths of speculation sure to reward new fans and old alike.Book The Cretaceous Past Review :
Cixin Liu and Neal Stephenson are the only authors I automatically buy anything they publish, and that is because they are always very good to great.This story is at least very good. It has some degree of believable plausibility which makes the read fun. Make no mistake, this isn't intended as hard sci-fi. It's just a great thought experiment.I think 12-15 year olds would benefit from this as an assigned read, the world creation conveys concepts of interdependence and innovation fairly rigorously.Where this work reaches a greatness is as metaphor for current tensions breaking years of international trade and cooperation, and the potential for armed conflict. I can see the USA and the "West" versus China in this story, and this fable spotlights the foolishness of seeking war. A war between interdependent cultures, once friendly and now risking global catastrophe in a brinksmanship quest for world domination. Sound familiar?Well known to us today, this theme is explored as a sardonic explanation for the end of the dinosaurs and other worldly beings, some 66 million years ago.Cixin Liu’s 2021 dark satire, “The Cretaceous Past”, is a science fiction look forward by reconstructing the past with familiar, disquieting results (originally published in 2020 as “Of Ants and Dinosaurs).By accident and self-motivated interests, two physically opposite species – dinosaurs and ants – form an unexpected mutually satisfying relationship building on each other’s skill sets. This arrangement leads to 3,000 years of economic and technological prosperity throughout the era’s Gondwanan supercontinent.But not without tensions and competitiveness leading to first religious, then, nationalistic, species-bias motivated conflicts. Dinosaurs are presented as creatively innovative but physically inept, while ants as micro fine-motor skilled legions of unimaginative technocrats.Not unlike the breaking apart of the supercontinent at the time, the dinosaurs split into two competitive subgroups: one with an autocratic, monarchy feel, the other more republic-oriented by its description. The parallels with the current world political orders for all three groups are apparent.Will the conflicts be resolved or end in a sort of Dr. Strangelove accidental finality marking a geologic boundary for future scholars and explorers to study?While Liu’s dry humor and wit keep the narrative moving quickly forward, the characters, motivations and events are hard to empathize with – sort of like looking at an experiment in a Petri dish. It is interesting, even entertaining, to see the results but at times hard to feel excited.A similar investigation worth reading is Czech writer Karel Capek’s 1936 brilliant science fiction satire of human motives at cross purposes with another species, “War with the Newts”. And along the same lines about efforts doomed to repeat is Walter M. Miller Jr.’s 1959 amusing and disturbing “A Canticle for Leibowitz”.You might be surprised by this quick read and find Liu’s fable confirms William Faulkner’s thought: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” Read Online The Cretaceous Past Download The Cretaceous Past The Cretaceous Past PDF The Cretaceous Past Mobi Free Reading The Cretaceous Past Download Free Pdf The Cretaceous Past PDF Online The Cretaceous Past Mobi Online The Cretaceous Past Reading Online The Cretaceous Past Read Online Cixin Liu Download Cixin Liu Cixin Liu PDF Cixin Liu Mobi Free Reading Cixin Liu Download Free Pdf Cixin Liu PDF Online Cixin Liu Mobi Online Cixin Liu Reading Online Cixin LiuDownload PDF Of Pixies and Spells (Of Goblin Kings Book 3) By Emma Hamm
