THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM: Cixin Liu
THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM
by Cixin Liu
Cixin Liu is a one in a million writer. With Ted Chiang’s simple, cutting emotions and Andy Weir’s complexity of theory, Liu deftly welds a story about alien contact in the Chinese Cultural revolution. A disillusioned and dishonoured physicist defies orders to ensure the end of the humanity at the hands of an alien race. A gripping scientific horror with the harsh realism of a treacherous political landscape.
