Xia Jia's ' Night Journey of the Dragon-Horse ' describes a post-apocalyptic world where machines have outlived the humans who engineered them. In ' Taking Care of God ' by Liu Cixin - author of The Three-Body Problem , the first translated novel to win the Hugo Award - a race of white-haired, white-robed beings arrive on Earth, claiming they are God, creators of everything who now want to spend their retirement years with us...
