A review by stuartjrodriguez
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
4.0
Eh, like 3.75 rounded up.
Very smart, heady, and cerebral. If you like your science fiction full of big ideas and smart people who possess very little emotional range, you might love this. It’s a very smart novel full of very smart people who have lots of conversations about mathematics, theoretical physics, and human morality, but zero conversations about, I dunno, any actual human emotion. It’s admittedly a fascinating book, but ymmv.
