鲁般

Lu Ban is a Chinese author known for science fiction. Public information about him is limited, and his nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not clearly recorded. Judging from the four works held in the collection, he writes around future societies, the ethics of technology, and human emotion. His representative works include Future Syndrome, Ban's Cat, and You Are Unreachable, and he also contributed to the anthology Nebula XI: Seeing Words as Meeting Faces. These titles suggest a sustained interest in themes of "the future" and "the unreachable." His works generally fall within science fiction, often taking an imagined near-future situation as an entry point and setting technological premises alongside the fate of his characters. Because verifiable information is currently scarce, his full body of work awaits further documentation, but on the basis of the known works alone he has left a recognizable voice in Chinese science fiction writing.
