About the author
Zhu Ji is an author about whom limited public information is available. Few details can be confirmed at present: neither nationality, dates of birth and death, nor an English name have been clearly recorded, and two of the author's works are held in the collection. Judging from the representative titles The Social Conquest of Earth and Did I Make You Cry with Stupidity?, Zhu Ji's writing falls mainly into two areas, social science and popular science. The topics tend to approach issues such as sociality, human behavior, and cognition, using accessible prose to explain fairly specialized knowledge to general readers. The number of works is small, but the range of subjects reflects an interest in the intersection of the social sciences and the natural sciences. The style is relaxed and easy to follow, skillfully drawing on everyday phenomena to raise questions, which gives the writing a certain appeal for popular-science reading. Overall, Zhu Ji appears to be an author mainly engaged in translation or popular writing, and the available public materials are not yet sufficient to present a complete picture; more material is needed regarding the author's life and academic background.
