Sinossi
Nella Cina della Rivoluzione culturale, un progetto militare segreto invia segnali nello spazio cercando di contattare intelligenze aliene. E ci riesce: il messaggio viene captato però dal pianeta sbagliato, Trisolaris, l'unico superstite di un sistema orbitante attorno a tre soli, dominato da forze gravitazionali caotiche e imprevedibili, che hanno già arso undici mondi. È quello che i fisici chiamano "problema dei tre corpi", e i trisolariani sanno che anche il loro destino, prima o poi, sarà di sprofondare nella superficie rovente di uno dei soli. A meno di non trovare una nuova casa. Un pianeta abitabile, proprio come il nostro. Trisolaris pianifica quindi un'invasione della Terra. Sul Pianeta azzurro, nel frattempo, l'umanità si divide: come accogliere i visitatori dallo spazio? Combattere gli invasori o aiutarli a far piazza pulita di un mondo irrimediabilmente corrotto?

Recensioni
Badly Written and Ill Conceived Science Fiction with a Few Interesting Ideas I'm not sure I read the same book as everyone else. This got lots of four and five star reviews here on Goodreads. Plus, it's been nominated for both Hugo and Nebula awards. As often happens, I'm not with the majority opinion Leggi tutto
I'm going to call it right now. Even though I only just finished book one, I'm certain The Three-Body Problem will go down as my favorite sci-fi series of all time. This book blew my mind so thoroughly that it leaves only destruction in its wake. Where could Liu Cixin have possibly come up with all o Leggi tutto
Adult sci-fi. By Chinese author Cixin Liu, The Three-Body Problem takes a classic scenario -- contact with alien life -- and cranks up the sinister factor to maximum. The story begins during the Cultural Revolution when young Ye Wenjie watches her scientist father beaten to death by fervent revoluti Leggi tutto
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT I just rated a book 5 stars. Just read it. **Update now that I've read the whole trilogy!** This is now one of my all time favorite sci-fi series. The concepts are brilliant and I fear that I'll never find anything this mind-blowing. With that said... the books are quite sexist (the Leggi tutto
Comparing Cixin to Arthur C Clarke, as the press did, might be appropriate. Reread 2022 with extended review Hostility towards science ruins everything Ignorance and especially ideology fueled hate against science, and especially scientists who were torchbearers of the unwanted, enemy ideology are a c Leggi tutto
I'm really waffling between whether to rate "did not like it" vs. "it was okay" -- I very, very rarely give out one stars, and it feels uncharitable because it was a book I wanted to like more than I did, and I want more diverse SF, but... no. I've consciously created a "not my cup of tea" shelf for Leggi tutto
Re-read 1/30/24: I got my special hardcover out and took my sweet time reading this. It's a favorite, to be sure, and I knew it before I started it now. I mean, sure, I'm reading it because the Netflix adaptation is coming out rather soon, but MOSTLY, I just want to enjoy the OMG WHAT DID I JUST READ Leggi tutto
