The Three-Body Problem is the first novel in the groundbreaking, Hugo Award-winning series from China's most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu.
Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision.

But what are the best trilogies of all time? With thousands of amazing trilogies out there, it's hard to narrow it down. We’ve compiled some book trilogies that represent the best of the best—and don’t worry about spoilers; we’ve only described the first book of the series in each entry.

I didn't have much trouble with setting. This first book of a trilogy draws on the Chinese Cultural Revolution, past and current geopolitics, and current and theoretical quantum physics to set the stage for the saga - interesting, with plenty of potential to sustain the trilogy. My only quibble with the setting used was with the sequences that take place within an on-line game. It is in the game that characters attempt to resolve the Three Body Problem and I found those segments of the book to be rather dull and confusing. No doubt some of the information in those sections will come into play in later books, but they read like bad dream sequences where you don't have any context to make sense of what is going on. And, there is no plot or character development happening during those passages so I just wasn't engaged during those sections.
The flow of the writing feels a bit choppy, but I would chalk that up to the fact that this is a translation. The translation seems pretty good in that the meaning is clear, but English and Chinese are such very different languages there is bound to be some loss of fluidity. Ultimately, my biggest difficulty with The Three-Body Problem is the characters. The book starts with Ye Wenjie during the Cultural Revolution and she is a very interesting character throughout the book and the only character that is ever really fleshed out. Much of the book is from the POV of Wang Miao, a character that gets little back story and is hard to connect with, and none of the other characters is more than sketched. The Aliens may have some potential in the sequels, but ruthlessness is about the only characteristic they show in this first book.
Luke Daniels does his normal phenomenal job of creating great character voices which is a huge help with a book with unfamiliar names and he adds much to making this a good listen.
Bottom line, The Three-Body Problem is challenging, but intriguing and I will listen to the sequels when Audible has them available.
Not in love, but definitely intrigued

The sci-fi elements are diverse including the unique physics of a world with three stars that has no stable orbit. Interestingly, the reader is oriented to this world through an elaborate computer game that is rather addictive. Use of the the sun as a signal amplifier and nanotech monofilaments are offered, although not necessarily original. Of particular note is that this was originally written in Chinese and so this version is a translation. As such, the aspects unique to the cultural revolution have a genuine sense about the mood and feel of the time.
The narration is well done given the overwhelming number of Chinese characters, as well as non-Chinese with good gender distinction. Pacing is a bit slow, but the early portions have more of a storytelling feel than an unfolding novel.
Culture, mystery, and then lots of science fiction

Like some classic SF, the novel concerns the implications of First Contact with an extraterrestrial species. It begins with the story of a young physics student whose father runs afoul of the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. Imprisoned in a labor camp, she's fortunate enough to get drafted to a nearby military outpost devoted to space research. There, she discovers a novel way to send a signal into the galaxy -- which leads to an eventual reply. However, the nature of the reply raises the question of whether further contact is a good idea. But Ye Wenjie decides that anything another civilization could bring to Earth would have to be better than what she's experienced of human society so far.
This history is interspersed with a story set in the near future, in which Wenjie's actions have borne fruit that is only now beginning to attract attention in important circles. Scientists are mysteriously dying, and the government pressures a middle-aged nanotechnology scientist named Wang to help them infiltrate a cult-like organization that might have something to do with it. In the course of this, Wang begins playing a mysterious computer game called 3Body, a recruiting tool for the organization that reminded me of the "testing" game from The Last Starfighter, but in a much nerdier way. As he progresses, the game's creative virtual reality seems to reveal information about the extraterrestrials and their world (a mathematically-inclined reader can probably guess a component from the name of the novel). How did information about the extraterrestrials get to Earth? And what does it signify?
The remaining near-future plot and flashbacks into the past serve to answer these questions. Unfortunately, Liu's storytelling, while it works well enough in the 1960s-70s sequences, is somewhat clunky and unconvincing in the 21st century ones, full of large tracts of pedantic exposition. Some aspects of it didn't make sense to me -- he glosses over how the aliens managed to grasp human language and psychology so well from a handful of radio broadcasts. His concept of a computer game suggests that he never actually played one before writing the book. Finally, the dialogue can be rather stilted, though the audiobook reader does a good job of injecting personality into different characters, which compensates somewhat.
Yet, I liked this book. The plot is pretty heavy on science, but most of it made sense to me -- at least until I got to the point where a supercomputer is packed into the eleven-dimensional space of a subatomic particle -- and the clever solutions and philosophical questions the protagonists come up with are interesting. Some sequences even have a Neal Stephenson-like bravura, such as a 3Body episode in which Isaac Newton and John von Neumann come together in virtual reality to construct a giant computer from millions of soldiers waving flags. Last, I enjoyed several of the characters, such as a vulgar but crafty police officer and an Aspergian math genius. Wenjie's story is tragic, but her betrayal of her country seems understandable, as does the less-than-benevolent attitude of the Trisolaran government towards humanity, which we learn of towards the end of the book.
In sum, this is one of those works where you have to embrace the flaws to enjoy it, but it really does have the feel of classic science fiction. As a window into Chinese views on science, extraterrestrials, and the future -- as far as popular culture represents them, anyway -- Three Body is quite interesting.
Flawed but worthwhile to me
