Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionWhen Chinese physicist Ye Wenjie makes first contact with an alien civilisation during China's Cultural Revolution, she sets in motion a chain of events that will shape the future of humanity for centuries. The discovery leads to a cosmic struggle, as humanity contends with both internal struggles and the threat posed by the distant and advanced alien race from the Trisolaris system. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, scientific, philosophical, and strategic battles unfold on an unprecedented scale.
Across light years of space and 18.9 million years of time, The Three-Body Problem Trilogy weaves a complex tapestry of intrigue, reflection, and grand-scale scientific theories. Liu’s visionary storytelling captures the reader's imagination, delving into themes of existential risk, the burden of knowledge, and the limits of human endurance.
Now available in a single volume, the trilogy includes:
- The Three-Body Problem
- The Dark Forest
- Death's End
Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-selling phenomenon – soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.
