Invisible Planets (or Invisible Planets: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation) is a science-fiction anthology edited and translated by Ken Liu composed of thirteen short stories as well as three essays by different Chinese writers, namely Chen Qiufan, Xia Jia, Ma Boyong, Hao Jingfang, Tang Fei, Cheng Jingbo and Liu Cixin.
[19] "Taking Care of God" also appeared in the collection The Wandering Earth by Liu Cixin and has a sequel, the short story "For the Benefit of Mankind", which won the Galaxy Award in 2005.
[20] Publishers Weekly wrote, that "although greatly varied in theme and approach, all of these stories impress with their visionary sweep and scope."
Furthermore, "the inclusion of three essays on the significance of science fiction to China and its writers underscores the thoughtfulness that Liu put into curating this superb compilation.
"[22] Kirkus Reviews wrote, that the stories "represent the best in both science fiction and works in translation, detailing situations that appear alien on the surface but deftly reframe contemporary issues to give readers a new view of familiar human experiences."
