TO THE ENLIGHTENED '' LIFE AND THE FUTURE '' will very soon start to head towards - and imitate The World Students Society - the exclusive and eternal ownership of every student in the world.

I respectfully stand to address the Global Founder Framers of !WOW! :

'' Best get your acts together and feel totally free. Remember the 360 degrees PEER TO PEER review. We must leave a documented, true and fair picture for the future generation of students. So, help us God Almighty.''

SCIENCE FICTION IS THE BUSINESS OF IMAGINING THE FUTURE - but reading Han Song, one of China's leading writers of the genre, can sometimes feel like reading recent history.

IN 2000, he wrote a novel depicting the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York. In 2016, another book imagined the world transformed into a giant hospital, with doctors taking people from their homes - as would happen at times during China's coronavirus years.

For Mr. Han, 59, this means only that he had not gone far enough in imagining how dark or strange modern life could become.

'' I thought I was just writing, but that it was impossible for it to happen,'' he said of this novel '' Hospital,'' in which everyone is reduced to being a patient. '' It actually happened just a few years later, '' he said, referring to the pandemic.

'' This is an example of reality being more science fiction than science fiction.''

How the unthinkable can become reality has been Mr. Han's Subject for the past four decades. By day, he is a journalist at China's state news agency, recording the country's astonishing modernization. At night, he writes fiction to grapple with how disorienting that change can be.

His stories are bleak, grotesque and graphic. Some scrutinize the gap between China and the West, as in '' The Passengers and the Creator,'' a short story in which Chinese people worship a mysterious god called Boeing.

Others imagine that China has displaced the United States as the world's leading superpower. Many take ordinary settings, like subway trains, as backdrops for wild scenes of cannibalism or orgies.

Supposed progress is always viewed as warily. After China surpasses the United States in his novel '' 2066 '' : Red Star over America - the one with the collapse of the World Trade Center, it is not long before China, too, begins unraveling.

Classic sci-fi elements such as space travel or artificial intelligence appear, but the science is not Mr. Han's focus. He is more interested in how people respond to new technologies and disruption they represent.

He has said that Chinese science fiction, more than other contemporary genres, is preoccupied with exploring pain.

That interest is also personal. Sickly from a young age, Mr. Han has in recent years seen a sharp deterioration in his health. This, he said, has made him more skeptical about the ability of medicine, and science generally, to improve humanity.

THAT is a potentially risky position, Mr. Han acknowledged in an interview in Beijing, where he lives with his wife. He is thin and soft-spoken, with a serious demeanor that belies the dark humor in his work.

'' According to our standards, there is only one possible future. It's all planned what 2035 will be like, what will 2050 be like, all the way until we reach peak socialism,'' he said referring to the Chinese government's five-year plans for development.

'' But in science fiction there are many possibilities.''
