Description

1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses the beating to death of her father by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution in China. This event will not only shape the rest of her life but also the future of humanity.

Four decades later, the Beijing police ask nanotechnology engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secret cult of scientists following a series of unexplained suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a strange online game and draw him into a virtual world dominated by the uncontrollable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns.

This is the three-body problem, and it is the key to everything: the key to the death of scientists, the key to a conspiracy covering light-years, and the key to the extinction threat facing humanity.

    Very nice but big. If someone wants to get the whole trilogy, they need half a shelf to put it on.

    The book is excellent, it is science fiction, but the story unfolds on Earth just as we know it. The story contains a lot of positive sciences and through them, with a semblance of logic, it goes into the realm of the fantastic. You cannot imagine the story that this person has written and the next books are much better...

    One of the best science fiction books I have read, I really liked how the mystery unfolds slowly. Anyone who knows nothing about the plot and reads it without spoilers from the series or various reviews will enjoy it!

    This book belongs to a trilogy that is top-notch in its genre. It may have some weaknesses on a linguistic level, but on the level of ideas and story, it is unique. It introduces very interesting ideas and offers an Asian perspective on human history. A book that every fan of the genre should read

  • Together with: The Leviathan Wakes by Corey S. A. James, these are the two science fiction books that I liked the most.

    One of the best science fiction books I have read in recent years.
    The author clearly shows that he is knowledgeable in physics, mathematics, and generally in the exact sciences. What he writes, although "fantasy," could easily be reality, as everything that happens is based on physics and the evolution of technology. If you are looking for robots that become astronauts and Thor with his hammer, you are in the wrong book.

    The events that occur are analyzed from various perspectives, such as the exact sciences, economics, social issues, and the personal choices of the characters, mainly in the second and third book. The first book is an introduction/story about what is to come...

    Well.. Imaginative plot.. This probably no one can dispute.

    But it doesn't delve into character psychology.. At least not in the depth I would like.. Also.. If among other things fiction must travel in such a way that the reader can visualize, in several points this is difficult.. It's not so much a matter of writing style as the extensive involvement of positive sciences and especially physics and engineering in the development of the story. A knowledgeable person (a professor or a graduate in astrophysics) in quantum physics may find it enjoyable. I, however, found several points in the book almost repulsive.

    Having read the first book, I believe it could be excellent material for the 7th art.. The future will tell.

    I will read the other two books of the trilogy to have a complete opinion on the work.

    Edit 6/4724: In the end I was prophetic.. It came out on Netflix.. But the performance is not good. Inferior to the book.

    In terms of engineering, physics, and generally positive sciences, the ideas and image of the future presented are extremely interesting. However, it would be better to write a scientific book rather than a novel. It delves extensively into topics of physics, astronomy, and details related to technology. Its characters are not fully developed. There is no organization in the development of the story and the characters. It's like someone had a great idea for a series, which played for ten years, and in the last season, they try to condense everything that they couldn't accomplish in the previous nine. Of course, it doesn't justify how a character appears out of nowhere and disappears and reappears again. It would be better to emphasize only that this particular person is just a mechanical engineer because they don't fit as a novelist
