The Three-Body Problem

Super interesting science fiction that goes into great detail without making the reader feel stupid. Only complaint is it made me wanting more from the book and it may have gotten a little stagnant at some parts. The Dark Forest is definitely an improvement off of the what this book set up

I’ve been a reader since before I can remember. This series has ruined me. It’s unlike anything else written so far to this day. I disappeared into my fascination with this amazing, truly epic story written by someone in a culture so different to the ones I am familiar with. For those of us who can become bored with the mainstream or anything that has been overdone and redone a few times - this series is like the dragon we’ve been chasing for years. It’s different because it’s being told by someone who not only thinks different then we do but has been surrounded by and bred by a culture so vastly different to our own. It makes it special and fascinating in what is our first time hearing stories told so differently. The author is primarily some kind of rocket scientist. He writes as a hobby. So before you go thinking that the science here isn’t legit- keep in mind that compared to you and what you know- this author is the expert. Just because you don’t understand the subject matter does not make it ridiculous or impossibly far fetched. The magic of this amazing story is that the ideas and theory’s here are very much so based on science, math, facts and plausible theories. The three body series blew my mind and when I had finished the series I walked around in a half daze for a couple of weeks. I am so lucky to have read these books. I can not tell you how much I enjoyed every second I spent in its world.

Boring
