Overview
It’s hard to describe this trilogy without giving anything away. It’s about Chinese scientists, and… well, I’ll stop there. Instead, I’ll describe its scope: the psychology and political movements that would result from extraterrestrial contact. The game theory of galactic warfare. The philosophy of death. Experiments in trans-dimensional exploration. What is a universe?
And much, much more. Honestly, there’s nothing I could write here to do it justice. It’s one of the best fiction experiences I’ve ever had in my life. A stunning achievement. And a must-read for anyone who is even remotely into sci-fi or nerdy space science stuff.
The Three-Body Problem is a science fiction book that follows humanity’s first contact with an advanced alien civilization, and the devastating consequences that ensue. As humans struggle to understand the alien’s motivations and technology, they must also grapple with the fundamental questions about their own place in the universe.
