Give the Three Body Problem series a try, I think you’ll enjoy it immensely.
- the__alchemist 5y agoI don't think this is in the same league as Snow Crash, or any other Stephenson novel. Learning about parts of 20th century China political history? Cool! The Sci-fi? Makes distractingly little sense. The wire-slicer weapon was pretty cool though!
- _1100 5y agoI always forget how little actually happens in the first book of the trilogy, and how…earthy(?) it is? It’s just so small in scope compared to the following books that I forget that its entire appeal is just how unknown the unknowns are and how much potential it sets up for the rest of the story.
- Syntheticate 5y agoI found the next two books in the trilogy (The Dark Forest, Death's End) to go much more in depth on the sci-fi aspect; if you're willing to suspend a little disbelief the story is constantly engaging and quite thought-provoking. While the style is different from Stephenson's I think anyone who enjoys Stephenson's books would enjoy the journey and perspective this series offers too!
- the__alchemist 5y agoNow I want to read the second!
