#TheThreeBodyProblem

So, I read the three "Three Body Problem" books (there's probably a word for three consecutive linked works of art ... Matrix Resurrections).

The last book is definitely the best for story and storytelling (and the translator deserves an honourable mention (but I won't)).

However, I'm going to recommend that if you are not sure that it's worth reading any of them then you should read the very last part of the third book "Death's End". It's short-story-essay length. Doing that won't spoil your enjoyment of the series but it may even make you smile.

A long read about Three Body adaptations and the original work but worth it.

Anna made me realise something. One reason why the Netflix version failed (for me and those who enjoyed the original work) was that they didn't take the opportunity to use the same framework and create a commentary on US/European society.

I would've really loved to watch that!!

Instead, we got a clumsy photostat of the original, which fed into the current geopolitical commentary about China....which loses the point of the original story to begin with.

Currently reading the three body problem, and wow. It’s really good. Spoiler free comments:

  1. I am viscerally aware of the horror of the cultural revolution
  2. Cixin Liu is a ginormous nerd <3
  3. I wish these annoying characters weren’t so realistic

Have recently finished (and really enjoyed) #TheThreeBodyProblem by #Cixin. Can highly recommend if you like your #SciFi. Has some good science but (perhaps unusual for SciFi) some great reflection on personal journeys.

Really interested to see where #TheDarkForest goes.

Front cover of the Chinese publication of The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. It shows a highly stylised image of a person encumbered by backpacks and duffle bags facing away walking towards a sphere contained under an arch. There looks like a solar flare or explosion behind the sphere which puts everything in slight sillouhette.

Warp Motoru Çökerse Ne kadar Enerji Ortaya Çıkar

Üç Cisim Problemi kitap üçlemesini duymamış olmalı!

Aslında dizileri de var, ama Çin dizisi sâdece ilk kitabı içeriyorken Netflix üç kitabın birden içine edip her şeyi bok etmişti!

Fakat bir şekilde Yun Tianming'in "He'ershingenmosiken Sabunlu Tekne" metaforundan haberi var!

Kitabın yazarının bu konularda oldukça bilgili olduğu yazıyordu.

A Book for Our Time, written in 400 BC (only $2 on sale 🤗)

If you want to get away from our present world, check out Laozi’s ‘Dao De Jing’, “a compassionate soul in a world torn by hatred and ambition, dominated by those that yearned for apocalyptic confrontations and prized ideology over experience

By speaking out against the cleverness of elites and the arrogance of the learned, Laozi upheld the wisdom of the concrete, the humble, the quotidian, the everyday individual dismissed by the great powers of the world.”

Currently listening to the #SciFi audio book of #TheThreeBodyProblem / #三体 by #CixinLiu in German (#Trisolaris Trilogie) during my bike rides. I'm two-thirds through and it gets quite exciting and thought provoking. (I also maybe got a bit excited when a character briefly mentioned #OpenSource and #Linux in one sentence :D.)
You can get it in German for free here:

Many thanks to @peternoster for recommending the #ARD #Audiothek during one of his #Twitch streams!

I found Cixin Liu's 'Death's End' gripping, but also disappointing. It's full of brilliant SF inventiveness, but it's politically/philosophically simplistic, and it has a bizarrely essentialist approach to gender.

Rachel Carson should be granted a retroactive Nobel prize for her 1962 work Silent Spring. And Silent Spring should be required reading by every high school or secondary school student

and to your question - yes, I first learned of this book only through the book The Three-Body Problem by Chinese author Liu Cixin, published in 2008

I'm reading "The dark forest", the second in the #scifi trilogy "The three body problem". One of the footnotes says the terrorist organisation Al Qaeda could have been named after Isaac Asimov's ""Foundation" trilogy. A bit of googling found that while by no means certain it could be true. See the #gurdian [What is the origin of the name Al Quaida?](theguardian.com/books/2002/aug)
