sikemeay 's review for:
The Dark Forest
by Cixin Liu
500+ pages seems long, yet I'm still in awe of how much has been packed into this book. The Dark Forest expands on The Three Body Problem's dilemma: Is humanity worth saving, despite our sins? This entry is a touching meditation on hope and despair, faith and defeatism. It's also a wildly thrilling sci-fi adventure, conjuring up fantastical images and concepts to fill out an expansive game of 3D (or 11D?) chess among master strategists. It's also an insightful work of political theory in its own right, pushing the bounds of what fiction is capable of.
I would grant criticisms of this book's unfortunate portrayal of women.
