The Three-Body Problem

by Liu Cixin · Remembrance of Earth's Past series

During China's Cultural Revolution, a disillusioned astrophysicist sends a signal into space, triggering first contact with an alien civilization facing extinction. The Trisolarans' imminent invasion forces humanity to confront survival, moral collapse, and the dark forest of the cosmos. Liu's hard science fiction is a sweeping meditation on civilization and despair.
