Author introduction: I am Leo Mai, the author of Red Snow. This invitation focuses on the Chinese-language edition and readers interested in speculative fiction, imperial politics and conscience.
Three discussion prompts (no prior reading required): 1. What draws you into science fiction presented through an imperial court or historical allegory? 2. How do you judge a character who demands obedience in the name of order? 3. Do you prefer clear boundaries between technology and faith, or room for competing interpretations? Why?
Questions and differing views are welcome; reading, purchasing and reviewing are entirely optional.
《红雪》将科幻想象、帝国宫廷与历史寓言交织在一起，围绕权力、欲望、恐惧和信仰怎样影响人的选择展开。
欢迎从这三个问题交流，无须先读过本书：
1. 一部科幻小说若采用宫廷与历史寓言的外观，什么细节会让你愿意继续读？
2. 当人物声称“为了秩序”而要求服从时，你会怎样判断他的理由？
3. 你更喜欢科幻作品清楚解释技术与信仰的边界，还是保留解释空间？为什么？
