"Wildly imaginative." —President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy
This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author.
In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike.

"Wildly imaginative." —President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy
This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author.
In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
The second part is as good as the first one.
A great combination of astrophysics, sociology, philosophy.
Luckily I read Asimov's Foundations before Cixin books and I see there are alot of references and parallels with them.
The translation to EN was better and more understandabla in the first part.
I had big difficulties imagining characters. Maybe because of Chinese names, or because of their one-dimensionality.
Der zweite Teil der Trisolaris-Reihe war für mich nicht so gut zu lesen wie der erste (Die drei Sonnen).
Obwohl die Handlung interessant und spannend ist, fand ich die Art, wie es geschrieben war, eher langweilig.
Das mag vielleicht an der Übersetzung liegen, keine Ahnung.
Generell finde ich Hard SciFi wie den von Liu Cixin sehr gut, weil ich da immer wieder wieder neue Sachen lerne.
Übrigens hat es die "Dunkle-Wald-These" sogar als wissenschaftliche Theorie zum Fermi-Paradoxon ins Wikipedia geschafft.
Secondo libro della trilogia dei Tre Corpi di Cixin Liu. Mentre il primo libro impiegava un po' di tempo per ingranare, qui si parte subito, e con stile.
Odio quando riesco a immaginare come finirà un libro. Qui non ne ho avuto idea fino alla terzultima pagina. Ho già ordinato il terzo capitolo della trilogia.
