Liu has been awarded the Galaxy Award eight times (the equivalent in his country to the Hugo Award) and the Chinese Nebula, before turning his "Three-Body Trilogy" into a work capable of selling a million copies just in China, arousing unanimous interest throughout the West, winning the 2015 Hugo Award for best novel, and earning endorsements from the likes of Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg

His huge success is now repeated in all international markets, thanks to fans of the genre, but also, and above all, to the millions of readers interested in current geopolitical affairs and in the past and future of China. They are all the ones who have managed to turn a perfect stranger, coming from the most mysterious and hermetic East, into one of the great literary sensations of recent years
