Publisher Description
The Three-Body Problem is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience the Hugo Award-winning phenomenon from China's most beloved science fiction author, Liu Cixin.
Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Gain a whole new perspective on alien invasion when you listen to this Hugo Award–winning fantasy novel, the first in a trilogy adapted into a 2024 streaming series. After a secret Chinese military project beams a message into space, things get weird: Scientists begin killing themselves, a researcher keeps seeing a countdown everywhere he looks, and a virtual reality game set on a world with three suns becomes increasingly popular. And although these spooky harbingers indicate that destructive aliens are on their way, some on Earth might welcome that outcome. Narrator Luke Daniels provides an entire cast of voices from around the planet—and off it. (His portrayal of an alien invader will likely spook the heck out of you.) This is a fresh take on a common science fiction trope, as well as a meditation on the legacy of China’s Cultural Revolution. If you’ve been raised on a media diet of alien invasions that begin in New York or London, this is a great opportunity to experience science fiction through a different cultural lens.
