I enjoyed 3 body problem except the cancer stuff. Don’t need that when I’m trying to unwind. Was that it or is there another set of episodes coming? (Or a book to buy)

I think what's out is it for now, not sure if they'll do a second season.

But the show is based on the first book for the trilogy Remembrance of Earth's Past (the books in order are The Three Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End). I think they were released in China around 2008 onwards, and translated to English early 2010s. Critical of China surveillance and control, but hard sci-fi. That's about all I know besides some plot points here and there picked up from the internet.
