Until now I liked the best the following 2 short stories: - Village teacher - Sea of dreams Not my cup of tea: Full Spectrum Barrage Ramming.

I still like that every story is built around a central astrophysics phenomena. I found out that many ideas from these stories are later re-used in the Three body problem. Or maybe it was vice-versa?

The strong point of stories is that they induce a strong feeling of hopelessness in me.
