I love Ted Chiang's works. With Baxter and Robert Chales Wilson he's in my top 5 (SF or not I think) author.
But Ken Liu ? I can't stand. It feels like grandiloquent teen SF to me.
I haven't read enough from Ted Chiang yet (or he hasn't published enough) but Baxter and Wilson seem stuck in their themes of predilection now.
- ahelwer 6y agoI'm assuming you've read The Man Who Ended History by Ken Liu? If not I found it really good, if disturbing. (pdf: https://kenliu.name/binary/liu_the_man_who_ended_history.pdf https://kenliu.name/binary/liu_the_man_who_ended_history.pdf)
- johnchristopher 6y agoNo, I got my hands on a short stories book. I'll give it another try, thanks.
