Per a review in The Guardian, this "consists of 10 stories by the award-winning Chinese author Chen Qiufan. Each addresses an aspect of artificial intelligence expected to play a major role in life 20 years from now, and is followed by a detailed explanation from AI expert Kai-Fu Lee of how the fiction could soon be reality."
However, the respective introductions by the two authors credit the shortfiction pieces to both of them: Kai-Fu Lee asked Chen Qiufan to put his basic ideas into memorable pieces of fiction. {{Tr|diverse hands}}.
