While I did find this book particularly dense in the classic word soup that a lot of sci-fi falls into, it made me consider the implications for Earth of the discovery of alien life in a way that I hadn't before - can't wait to read the sequels!
The most science fiction part of this is that the UN would do anything at all in a planetary crisis.
Oh it’s also more or less 1960s sexist and the language feels a bit…off, like someone tried their best and failed to fix a machine translation. But other than that it’s not bad and oddly enough I am looking forward to the final book of the trilogy.
Too dry/slow, gave up 1/2 way.
Surprisingly unimpressed. The book was full of slow non-value scenes and one character line was completely useless to the story in general. Was really surprised that it was like this because Three Body was so good. I will admit Cixin had excellent insight to human nature and others.
A follow up to The Three Body Problem that exceeds it in every way. Immense in scope and brilliantly plotted. Wonderful stuff.
