"The Three Body Problem" is a nice book, but far from great. However, the 2nd instalment, "The Dark Forest" is going to blow your mind. It's the best sci-fi book ever written in Chinese, and IMHO the best since Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. I have long doubted if any Chinese could write a great Sci-fi. It's such a pleasure proven to be wrong!
- jweir 11y agoWould one enjoy the second book without reading the first?
- wangii 11y agoYes. I read the first one after finished the second.
- sandGorgon 11y agothanks for that! I had the same opinion about the Three Body Problem... but I'll give the Dark Forest a shot..
- hackuser 11y agoDid you read The Dark Forest in Chinese? What about The Three Body Problem? I read the latter in English. I wonder how much of the sometimes tediously long exposition and ham-handed language was due to translation.
