Book Description
======
All the years of human civilization represent an infinitesimal fraction
of the time since life first burgeoned on planet Earth. How likely is
it, then, in those great depths of time, that humanity alone benefitted
from the spark of intelligence that gave rise to culture?
This is the question posed by Hugo Award winner Cixin Liu, in his magisterial
new short novel The Cretaceous Past. The answer he offers is unexpected,
supposing an unlikely alliance between the largest creatures in the
world of the deep past and some of the smallest. And it all begins with
a toothache.
When a Tyrannosaurus rex suffers pain from meat trapped between its
enormous teeth, a nearby colony of ants risks entering the great creature’s
maw to make their own repast from the remains of the dinosaur’s most
recent meal. From this humble beginning, over the course of millennia,
a symbiotic civilization achieves amazing advances, facing dangers and
exploiting opportunities at every turn.
In this absorbing tale, Cixin Liu manages to describe the history of
successive epochs of a might-have-been world, doing for the past what
Olaf Stapledon’s classic Last and First Men did for the future.
