A review by kristianawithak
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu

3.0

It's hard to explain why I enjoyed this. It begins in the late 1960s, which is not where I thought an alien encounter book would begin, and it jumps back and forth between then and now. There's also a video game "The Three Body Problem" where a lot of the book spends its time, which reminded me a little of a super serious and science-y Ready Player One. The whole scope of the novel is engaging and I can't wait to see where it goes in the rest of the series.
