Andrew Yeh

Author of «Green Monkey Sydrome»

Andrew Yeh (Yeh Yan-du) was born in 1949. He holds a degree in history and teaches history and creative writing at Soochow University in Taiwan. He has also worked in newspaper and magazine publishing. He has authored several books on Chinese history. «Green Monkey Syndrome» is his only work of science fiction.

«In his capacities as an historian, a journalist, and a writer of fiction, Andrew Yeh brings the spirit of humanism to his reflections on the misuse of technological advances. More than mere cautionary tales, these stories act as portents, standing outside the limiting framework of our contemporary assumptions. The value of these modern fables is evidenced by the fact that thirty years after their initial publication their implications still inspire us, and likely will continue to do so a century from now.» Xu Wenwei, National Dong Hwa University.
