Cixin Liu’s The Butterfly: A Graphic Novel
Illustrated by Dan Panosisan
Welcome to The Worlds of Cixin Liu, a series of graphic novels created by 35 artists including writers, illustrators and colourists from 13 countries, to salute the unique imagination of China's science fiction grandmaster.
Bombs fall through the night sky and the city of Belgrade burns. Its citizens huddle in basements, terrified for their lives.
In the heart of the city, two men keep watch from a rooftop. But they are not afraid. For they have a plan.
Scientist Aleksandar has developed a program that can trigger major atmospheric change across the world and he needs his friend Reznik's help to run it. If they can find the right point, Aleksandar believes they might trigger a change powerful enough to disrupt the destruction of his country.
Like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings can create hurricanes at thousands of miles' distance, Aleksandar's actions will have far-reaching repercussions. But will they be enough?

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
