Cixin Liu's For the Benefit of Mankind

An international collaboration involving 26 writers and illustrators from 14 different countries have transformed 15 of Cixin Liu's - 'China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke' (New Yorker. ) - award-winning stories into graphic novels. Earth. Our home. The sole planet within our solar system capable of sustaining human life. A truly unique ecosystem. Unique, but for the three other identical Earths, each housing their own human race. For years we have thrived on the world our creators made for us, the superior species of our ecosystem. But no longer. The Elder Brothers - humans like us, but more advanced - have announced their plans to colonise our Earth. They will permit us to remain, as their pets, on a landmass tucked away at the bottom of the planet, with a subsidy to live upon, based on the assets of our Earth's poorest citizen. If we are to survive, there must be a dramatic redistribution of wealth. Anyone who does not comply will be processed. For the benefit of mankind. Praise for Cixin Liu:.
