- bmer 10y agoThe first thing I thought too, when I read this. "Trisolaris" is a reference to an amazing sci-fi novel, "Three Body Problem" which I would highly recommend (it originally came out in Mandarin, but it has a great translation): https://www.amazon.com/Three-Body-Problem-Cixin-Liu/dp/0765377063 https://www.amazon.com/Three-Body-Problem-Cixin-Liu/dp/07653...
- NotSammyHagar 10y agoI highly recommend this book, it was amazing. A challenging read, requiring a tiny bit of knowledge, but worth it. It reminded me a smidgen of a Russian novel, where the story of someone's background and family and motivation is crucial, and you need to go a few generations back to really understand someone.
- mtarnovan 10y agoMy thoughts too. I highly anticipate the English translation of Death's End, the 3rd volume of the trilogy, to be released on 20 Sept.

- alblue 10y agoFor those that don't recognise this, it's an ASCII quote based on an animation/scene from a Futurama episode entitled "My Three Suns" http://www.tv.com/shows/futurama/my-three-suns-1540/ http://www.tv.com/shows/futurama/my-three-suns-1540/ The planet in this episode is surrounded by three Suns, each of which has a different hue, and the play is similar to the astrological signs that exist here on Earth. (And I for one appreciated the ASCII animation attempt)
