The Three-Body Problem
Now a major Netflix series
By Cixin Liu
Translated by Ken Liu
Harry Hartog's review
This is the rare kind of hard sci-fi which inspires complete awe while filling the reader with existential dread. This book is an absolute one of a kind, though I can’t reveal too much with out giving it away as part of its charm is the way the story unfolds, jumping from the modern day to the 1960’s, to another planet and back again. You will not be able to put this book down, and then you will tell everyone you know to read it. - Lauren, Subscriptions
Description
Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon - soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.
1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind.
Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns.
This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.
