MEDIA REVIEWS
"The masterful result validates Xueting's endeavor-and will only whet readers'appetite for more translations." - Publishers Weekly,starred review
"Sinopticon is an engaging brew of unsettling ideas and lively prose."
"Sinopticon reads like Black Mirror and Love,Death,and Robots squeezed together and poured onto the page. I laughed,I cried,I read and re-read,I stayed up through the early hours if it meant finishing one of the longer stories. This book is everything I love about Science Fiction." - FanFiAddict
"Superb"- Lavie Tidhar,The Washington Post
"Important"- Locus Magazine
"A must-read for science fiction fans."- Aurealis
