SPOILERS trisolarians never considered co-existing with humans. Only when sword holder was established they changed their mind, and the moment swordholder changes they reversed cooperation stance. I love to see how netflix will handle it, the books are quite misogynistic. In the books Liu Ji (logic) is contrasted with emotional and unreasonable women.

Sorry I used incorrect wording, by "coexist" I mean they considered to let them survive (which they do), without exterminating the whole race, while lying changed something, at least that's how I interpreted it. I read the books too.

  Maybe its up to interpretations, I never had a doubt their goal was to get rid of humans. Everything else was smoke and mirrors to device weak minded humans to not resist by giving them hope of peace. They despised humans for having stable planet and squandering the potential.

    I mean, that wouldn't explain why they allowed them to live on the planet then (in book 3)

      Are you referring to Australian gulag plot? I am blanking out a bit on that part it was quite few years when i read it, but if thats what you are referring to. Wasn't it just an concentration camp and later on a zoo of savage caveman in a nutshell? That is maybe fate worse than extermination.

        I'm referring to that. If I remember correctly, they said they did that on purpose to reduce their population. But I keep interpreting that as very scientific: they have very detailed specifications they have to match and they don't care if it's ruthless, they will proceed. But they could have easily exterminated them instead. In the end the "other race" proceeded to erase the whole solar system without blinking and with no possibility to recover. By comparison, the Trisolarians are nice people

        That's very interesting. I had completely different interpretation of it :D I interpreted it as very effective way to self-gather humans into one spot where they start killing each other (due to lack of resources) and at the end they can wipe off the remaining few survivors. > In the end the "other race" proceeded to erase the whole solar system without blinking and with no possibility to recover. By comparison, the Trisolarians are nice people causing brutal genocide and keeping sentient population at neolithic tech levels doesn't sound all that nice, in comparison to instant death due to artificially caused supernova

        Really hard to put a number, although that's possibly worse than super nova (nobody will ever be able to even visit that space ever because of the lower dimension)

I highly doubt they will be able to handle the second book in any decent way. The deep exploration of Liu Ji emotions and mentality is really hard to transform in a tv show. The whole point where he creates his partner will not hold up, sigh
