Possible Worlds records Yang Xiao's travels, study visits, and short-term stays in more than a dozen countries, including the United States, Egypt, Kenya, Myanmar, and Germany, from 2010 to 2019. It is a journey of a young man who embraces the world and goes to the scene to explore possibilities (and recognize impossibilities). The decade from 2010 to 2019 was a decade in which the Chinese and Chinese passports truly embraced the world. Looking back, this is more like a special favor from history, and it is almost inevitable to be treated with nostalgia. The author leads us back to one scene after another, allowing today's eyes to shine into the records of the time. From multiple dimensions such as current affairs, humanities, history, and geography, it explores how we learn to get along with the past in a world of transition, how to face the implosion and contingency of history, and how to explore and think about a possible world.

《可能的世界》记录了杨潇2010—2019十年间前往美国、埃及、肯尼亚、缅甸、德国等十多个国家旅行、访学、短居的足迹,是一个拥抱世界的青年去现场,探寻可能性(并且认识不可能性)的历程。2010—2019这十年,是中国人与中国护照真正拥抱世界的十年,回过头看,这更像是历史的一段特殊恩惠,几乎不可避免地被乡愁化地对待。作者带领我们重新回到一个又一个现场,让今日的目光照进当时当刻的记录,从时事、人文、历史、地理等多个维度,探讨了在一个转型的世界里,我们如何学会与过去相处、如何面对历史的内爆与偶然,如何探索与思考一个可能的世界。
