北京、異形の都市。この街は貧富の差により三層のスペースに分割され、24時間ごとに世界が回転・交替し、建物は空間に折りたたまれていく。緻密にして巨大なルービックキューブ型都市の社会と文化に翻弄される男の冒険を描いた郝景芳(ハオ・ジンファン)による表題作、秦の始皇帝指揮下3百万の軍隊を用いた脅威の人間計算機の顛末が語られる劉慈欣(リウ・ツーシン)「円」(ヒューゴー賞受賞作『三体』抜粋)、遺伝子改造鼠を倒すべく歩を進める隊列の闇を描いた陳楸帆(チェン・チウファン)「鼠年」など、7人の作家の13作品を、短篇の名手ケン・リュウが精選し英訳。いま最注目の中国SF、その最前線を奔る作家たちが満を持して放つアンソロジー。解説/立原透耶【収録作品】序文 中国の夢/ケン・リュウ鼠年/陳楸帆麗江の魚/陳楸帆沙嘴の花/陳楸帆百鬼夜行街/夏笳童童の夏/夏笳龍馬夜行/夏笳沈黙都市/馬伯庸見えない惑星/郝景芳折りたたみ北京/郝景芳コールガール/糖匪蛍火の墓/程婧波円/劉慈欣神様の介護係/劉慈欣エッセイ/劉慈欣、陳楸帆、夏笳
