Christopher T. Fan argues that McHugh's award-winning 1992 science fiction novel perceives the twilight of the American Century by offering a "critical realism," to use Georg Lukács's phrase, of postsocialist US-China interdependency. In other words, it offers a form in which we perceive ourselves as subjects and objects of the twenty-first century world-system's most important bilateral relationship. Moreover, as a novel about US-China interdependency, it implicitly critiques the binary Orientalism that structures the rapidly growing body of work on "techno-Orientalist" formations. Fan's analysis thus extends arguments about American Orientalism's non-Manichean formations (Christina Klein, Melani McAlister, Colleen Lye) into the postsocialist era.
