"Distant Summer" is a unique collection of science fiction stories from China, reminiscent in tone of the best works of Ray Bradbury. Xia Jia combines the technological future with folkloric roots, myths, and nostalgia for a vanishing past.

An android guardian cares for a decrepit old man—under the watchful and naive gaze of his clever granddaughter. Modern technology is subtly woven into the fabric of ancient Chinese festivals. Cursed lovers try to synchronize their internal clocks, which run at different rates. An old postman dreams of returning to his homeland, now submerged by the sea. And a student manipulates the weather to pass an exam and, perhaps, win the heart of a classmate.
