This book and the whole Three Body Problem series, is easily one of best Science Fiction works I’ve ever read! Give this Five + stars! The story touched me on multiple levels: Scientifically, emotionally, philosophically, etc. This is the first time, I have felt the level of Wonder, I felt as a 14 year old reading Asimov’s Foundation series. If you love SF don’t miss this one. ( ) For personal nostalgia: No words except masterpiece. One of the best chapters of fiction I've ever read was "Bunker Era, Year 67 Orion Arm of the Milky Way" and this was but a short 8-9 page chapter. I cant put the thoughts on this review because of how dense and absolutely brilliant this last book was. 10/10 ending! So every story must end. So they are. Just as any journey, just as any life. We start, we move, we stop. Occasionally we go back and move again. Occasionally we go back some more and move again and again. At some point we arrive at destination... that is if we looking at destination from our perspective. Interesting paradox, is it not? Are we going to destination or is it destination that is coming close to us? It always mystified me how many destination we can reach before we actually arrive. What is the difference between destination and destination? Aren't we all a bit naive in perceiving destination as part of the journey? The line consist of infinite amount of points. Any point may be the last. Does the line end? Who ends it? In previous books author made an excellent point in infinite possibilities of the universe. He created a true cosmic horror. In this book he answers his question and makes a choice. no reviews | add a review

With The Three-Body Problem , English-speaking readers got their first chance to experience the multiple-award-winning and bestselling Three-Body Trilogy by China's most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu. Three-Body was released to great acclaim including coverage in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. It was also named a finalist for the Nebula Award, making it the first translated novel to be nominated for a major SF award since Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities in 1976. Now this epic trilogy concludes with Death's End . Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent. Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the early 21st century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings with her knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the beginning of the Trisolar Crisis, and her very presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle? No library descriptions found. |
