Children inherit the Earth when radiation from a supernova kills all the adults: some forge an imitation of their parent's society; others devolve into savagery and violence. From Cixin Liu the award-winning author of The Three-Body Problem.

And though they imagine a better, brighter future, they may not be able to escape humanity's dark instincts...
