View From The Stars (Tapa blanda)

We're mysterious aliens in the crowd. We jump like fleas from future to past and back again, and float like clouds of gas between nebulae in a flash, we can reach the edge of the universe, or tunnel into a quark, or swim within a starcore... We're as unassuming as fireflies, yet our numbers grow like grass in spring. We scifi fans are people from the future.' Cixin Liu, from the essay 'SciFi Fans'
