Chung Kuo: The Middle Kingdom

What Hacker News says

1. NevermarkMay 2024
   Been a while, but I loved them

   The author is David Wingrove, whose incredible world building is on display in his Chung Kuo series. Also highly recommended: a future where China has dominated all the continents. Originally 8 books, now 20 due to books splits and additional writing.

   Only complaint is he could have used an editor. Sometimes his writing could have used some corrections or better wording.

   But the stories are great.
