The plot was good, but the characters feels like a lil bit flat. Maybe because its heavly focused on the plot and not the character but i just didnt feel or relate to the character aside from that police side char guy, that guy maybe the only one who i feels alive in this book.

But aside from that its a great book, i do enjoy the story especially the plot its very interesting

¿Cómo reaccionaríamos frente al contacto con una civilización del espacio exterior? Cixin Liu plantea una respuesta a esta pregunta, mejor dicho, una serie de respuestas, en las que se ofrece una amplia mirada sobre la diversidad humana. Con una aproximación crítica la novela inicia con la revolución cultural en la que una profesora de astrfísica pierde a su padre y la fe en la humanidad, esa profesora será quien años más tarde descubra la forma para enviar un mensaje que sea atendido y al que los extraterrestres dan respuesta. Con una narración sencilla (a la que se agradece también la buena traducción de Ken Liu), y que en ciertos momentos llega a un lirismo, que se disfruta y no distrae la lrctura, el autor hace accesibles toda una serie de conceptos científicos necesarios para construir la trama; hay un pesimismo sobre la condición humana que muchos de los personajes de la novela comparten.
