3.5 stars I was very eager to try Sinopticon after enjoying some previous anthologies of translated Chinese SFF. A new-to-me editor and translator, and a mix of author names (some I'd read before, some I hadn't heard of), and more female authors as well. And this definitely lived up to my expectations for more variety! Xueting Christine Ni's selections cover a range of SF topics and types of SF. Her notes after each story also provided a lot of great context. I don't always want to know "more" after a short story, but the afterwords were well placed to understand why particular stories were chosen, what made them stand out to the editor, and particular Chinese concepts and ideas being used. I have to place a huge caveat here that I know little about Chinese history, culture, and storytelling. But the stories that stuck out the most to me in Sinopticon were the ones exploring ideas that are definitely Chinese - such as "Tombs of the Universe" by Han Song, "The Great Migration" by Ma Boyong, and "The Tide of Moon City" by Regina Kanyu Wang. These stories made me pause and think how I'd never seen these premises in SF before! More of this, please! My overall rating is lowered somewhat because as with most collections or anthologies, there are always a few stories that aren't to one's taste. In my case, some of the longer stories - such as the one about zombies - were not interesting. However, I was still impressed with the variety of the selections and the care taken in the translation. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
