The Age of Supernova

A post-apocalyptic tale The Age of Supernova by bestselling author of The Three-Body Problem Liu Qingxin

Adults are dying. A year from now, children will be all that's left of humanity. And so begins... the Age of Supernova
At that time, Beijing was one city on Earth.
At that time, Earth was one of the planets in the sky.
That night all history as men knew it came to an end.
Eight light years away, a star died and flooded the Earth with deadly radiation that will kill all humans over the age of thirteen within a year. And so the countdown is on. Parents try their best to impart to their children all the knowledge they will need to keep the world running.
The children's world, however, refuses to continue in the rut of the adult world. They dream of a better world, a world full of games, but even children - like adults - cannot resist the darker sides of human nature and the dream world begins to resemble a nightmare...

They wrote about the book The Age of Supernova

It is no coincidence that one of the novel's characters mentions Golding's Lord of the Flies, but Liu's thought experiment is far stranger and wilder.

The Guardian

In Liu's hands, the saying "Children are the future" becomes more than just a cliché; it's a springboard for the kind of insightful and important thought experiment that only the best science fiction can convey.
