The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu
5.0
At first I was confused as to why all these characters were relevant to anything, but having listened to the first book I knew that Cixin Liu was carefully building out a complex story.
I then grew to seriously anticipate what each of these characters would do next during each era. I enjoyed the portrayl of the behaviors of humans when faced with crisis and getting to explore all the different long-game strategies of varying degrees of success.
I'm not a smart person, and I found that even though the technical prose was dense, this book is very forgiving if you don't understand how the physics works entirely. All I needed was a general understanding.
