The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
4.5
adventurous emotional fast-paced

Masterfully written, masterfully translated, really fun & engaging. I really appreciate that it feels distinctly Chinese, despite not being about China specifically. Personally, I'm not a big fan of hard sci-fi, so I didn't love how in-the-weeds about science and technology this book got, but it redeemed itself by being very well-written with an interesting plot & themes. The ideas of the limits of science, the inherent chaos of the universe, while not overly explored were maybe my favorite bits. However the whole thing was pretty great.
