50 authors, 50 science fiction stories shorter than novels
Like the list, big fan of Borges, Egan and Chiang, but very surprised to see no Lem. He has to be on a list like that. <i>A Perfect Vacuum</i> is brilliant and the Cyberiad is a great candidate as well.<p>Another thing I'm surprised to not see on the list is Chinese short-story sci-fi, there's been a lot of great stuff coming out of the country in recent years much of it translated by Ken Liu.<p><i>Folding Beijing</i> by Hao Jingfang is great and free to read[1], there's <i>The Wandering Earth</i> by Liu Cixin whose <i>Three Body</i> books got a lot of attention, and there's another collection called <i>Invisible Planets</i>, which has a few good stories by Chen Qiufan. He's also written a very good novel called <i>Waste Tide</i>.<p>[1]<a href="https://uncannymagazine.com/article/folding-beijing-2/" rel="nofollow">https://uncannymagazine.com/article/folding-beijing-2/</a>
