Award-winning sci-fi author exploring AI, cyberpunk futures, and the human consequences of technological change
I’m a science fiction writer, screenwriter, and creative producer exploring the relationship between humanity and rapidly evolving technology. Through works such as The Waste Tide and AI 2041, I examine themes including artificial intelligence, cyberpunk urbanism, environmental collapse, and digital culture. My work combines speculative imagination with close observation of real technological and social transformations shaping contemporary life in China and beyond.
