Strongly anticipating the reaction of western audience to the adaptation of the Three Body Problem
Are people going to realise that the most popular fiction in China openly criticise the cultural Revolution?
Also the fact that it is made by westerners is a bit concerning
I've been wanting to watch the Tencent series with my partner for ages but haven't gotten around to it. I'm honestly not very hopeful or excited about the western produced and netflix distributed series. It'll certainly be packed full of China bad bs.
It's incredible and I can only recommend it. The books aren't exactly easy reads with the topics that are dealt with, but well worth reading and thinking about.
Are they all good? IIRC I've heard some mixed opinions on the sequels
I would say in terms of story and characters the first book is the best. I found the second and especially third to be far more conceptual and existential. That's not to say that there isn't a story and character development and that it's not compelling, they're just very different feeling and a whole lot darker.
thanks, I'll give it a go 👍
I loved them all, with my least favorite being the 2nd but it was close, and the 1st the best. I wrote a little thing somewhere about them, but basically I find it a beautiful representation of how changing material conditions can entirely flip interests and entire societal structures through the changes due to all the sci-fi shit going on. And you are treated as a knowledgable person in the world with the amount of info you have, but you are limited exactly like humanity as a whole is and the series develops around those limits.
