During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the genre underwent a sudden revival and flourished; it continued to prosper in the following decade and gained recognition from readers and media both domestically and globally. In Fear of Seeing, Mingwei Song argues that through illuminating that which has been invisible, this new wave of Chinese science fiction opens up new possibilities and inspires new ways of telling stories about China and the world. Deeply entangled with the politics of a changing China, this new wave of science fiction complicates the visions of the nation's future: it unsettles historical determinism with dystopian variations; envelops political consciousness in scientific discourses on uncertainty; and sharpens social criticism with an acute awareness of both the potential and menace of technological revolutions. Song analyzes representative works of the major authors of the new wave, exploring how SF's representation of the invisible has motivated larger changes in the contemporary literary paradigm"-- ▼c Provided by publisher. | |

Winner, 2023 SFRA Book Award, Science Fiction Research Association
A new wave of cutting-edge, risk-taking science fiction has energized twenty-first-century Chinese literature. These works capture the anticipation and anxieties of China’s new era, speaking to a future filled with uncertainties. Deeply entangled with the politics and culture of a changing China, contemporary science fiction has also attracted a growing global readership.
Fear of Seeing traces the new wave’s origin and development over the past three decades, exploring the core concerns and literary strategies that make it so distinctive and vital. Mingwei Song argues that recent Chinese science fiction is united by a capacity to illuminate what had been invisible?what society had chosen not to see; what conventional literature had failed to represent. Its poetics of the invisible opens up new literary possibilities and inspires new ways of telling stories about China and the world. Reading the works of major writers such as Liu Cixin and Han Song as well as lesser-known figures, Song explores how science fiction has spurred larger changes in contemporary literature and culture. He analyzes key topics: variations of utopia and dystopia, cyborgs and the posthuman, and nonbinary perspectives on gender and genre, among many more. A compelling and authoritative account of the politics and poetics of contemporary Chinese science fiction, Fear of Seeing is an important book for all readers interested in the genre’s significance for twenty-first-century literature.
Fear of Seeing traces the new wave of Chinese science fiction’s origin and development over the past three decades, exploring the core concerns and literary strategies that make it so distinctive and vital.
