Invisible Planets-A sci-fi short story written by Hugo Award winner Hao Jingfang
Invisible Planets features a range of unique planets with their distinctive residents.
One of the planets in the story has exceptionally beautiful landscapes and happy people habitual of telling lies.
Meanwhile, another planet inhabits people who appear open to all sorts of new ideas but never really accept any. At the same time, another planet is ruled by two species that depend on each other but never get to know about each other’s existence. This story is full of insight, imagination, and metaphors of human society.
Born in 1984, Hao Jinfang, has degrees in both physics and economics from Tsinghua University. She works as a macroeconomics researcher at China Development Research Foundation. In 2016, she won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette for her science fiction Folding Beijing.
