Chinese Sci-Fi Book Review: Three Body Problem
Three Body Problem was on my “must read” list ever since it won the Hugo Award two years ago. Unlike past Hugo award winners, this book was special because it was the first time a Chinese author won the most prestigious award in science fiction literature. As someone who loves both sci-fi and China, I just had to read this thing.
But for whatever reason, I didn’t get around to it. It was probably the not-so-appealing cover. Maybe it’s the weird title. Or perhaps it was the summary of the book, which involves the overdone plot of “humanity fights aliens.” I have to admit–from first glance, it didn’t seem all that appealing.
