Durante la Revolución Cultural china, un proyecto militar secreto envía señales al espacio para contactar con extraterrestres. Pronto, una civilización alienígena al borde de la destrucción capta la señal y comienza a planear su desembarco en la Tierra. Durante las décadas siguientes, se comunica a través de un insólito método: un extraño videojuego virtual impregnado de historia y filosofía. Pero a medida que los alienígenas empiezan a ganar a los jugadores terrícolas, se forman distintos bandos, unos dispuestos a dar la bienvenida a esos seres superiores y ayudarlos a hacerse cargo de un mundo tan corrupto, y otros preparados para luchar contra la invasión. El resultado es una experiencia tan auténtica como reveladora sobre nuestro tiempo.
I just kept reading to find out what was going on, the book really sucked me into the world and I couldn't stop myself as I had to know what was going on and how this was all connected.
A bunch of interesting ideas, but miles away from a great book.
The first few chapters had me darting to and from Wikipedia to help add some context to a story that is deeply set in the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It',s a triviality to call the story complex, a mystery than unfolds through the book. Be warned this is the first in a trilogy and a very much sets itself up this way, which was a little frustrating in the last few chapters.
Content warning Discusses elements of the plot
We haven't read the other books in the trilogy. How to describe? Liu has a very pessimistic perception of humanity and the nature of the universe. Not only does it science what kind of beings might evolve in a three-body solar system, but he also engages the Fermi Paradox, a very pessimistic theory about intelligent life. Be prepared to deal with frustration and disappointment.
That said, it is an important book and should be read.
