Book one: lots and lots of scientists committing suicide out of despair that science is a lie (reader demographic will relate to this how?).
End of book one: yay!
Beginning of book two: oh we're totally fucked.
End of book two: yay?
Beginning of book three: yeah, we're totally fucked.
End of book three: the universe and all possible future universes are totally fucked.
It was epic. Highly recommended. So good to read sci-fi without a happy ending. Liked Horizon: Zero Dawn for same reason.
- jandrese 9y agoScience wasn't a lie, there was just an artificial cap on it, one that those scientists wouldn't even hit in their lifetime. And honestly, the cap seemed a bit contrived to me. I read it more that the Trisolarians headfaked all of humanity and three books later Humanity never realized it. There's more to science than smashing subatomic particles together. It would be quite the subversion of "Trisolarians suck at lying" meme that emerged later.
