For sci-fi recs: I recently read The Three-body Problem by Cixin Liu (a trilogy) and thought it was really good. Also just started another sci-fi trilogy with A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge which has some really fun and interesting (if hand-wavy) ideas…
I'm halfway through The Three Body Problem, a science fiction novel by Chinese author Cixin Liu. The apparent irrationality of three-body orbits is central to the story. So far, it's excellent, both as science fiction and as social commentary…
The name alludes to a book by Cixin Liu, the second in The Three Body Problem trilogy: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IQO403K/ This is perhaps the best of a hundred scifi novels I've read in a few years. These novels will make you question the wisdom of sending traceable radio signals…
Great timing. I literally just 2 hours ago finished reading Three Body Problem, a sci-fi book mentioned in the article. The description of sci-fi books, not as predictions about the future, but as allegories for the present, is dead on. As someone who virtually always reads western…
很高兴看到那里推荐了一些好书。具体来说，我要点名：《三体》（The Three Body Problem）。《天堂的电脑》（The Lathe of Heaven）。虽然我还没读过 Parable of the Sower，但我读过的 Octavia Butler 的所有作品从相当好到我最爱的书都有，所以我确信它是一本好……
Happy to see some great books recommended there. Specifically, let me call out: The Three Body problem. The Lathe of Heaven. And while I haven't read Parable of the Sower yet, everything I've read of Octavia Butler has ranged from really good to some of my favorite books ever, so I'm sure it's a good…
For a captivating exploration of these same ideas in contemporary fiction, try Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem. As a tip, I enjoyed it much better having not even read the blurb on the back of the book. It spoils events that don't truly unfold until far into the story.
科幻推荐的话：我最近读了刘慈欣的《三体》（一套三部曲），觉得非常棒。另外刚开始看弗诺·文奇的另一套科幻三部曲《深渊上的火》，里面有一些非常有趣且脑洞大开（虽然有点随手糊弄/不拘小节）的设定…

中国作家刘慈欣的科幻小说《三体》，我已经读了一半了。三体轨道看似毫无规律的混沌特性是故事的核心。到目前为止，不管是作为科幻小说还是作为社会隐喻，它都极其出色…

这个名字暗指刘慈欣的一本书，《三体》三部曲的第二部：https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IQO403K/ 这可能是我近几年读过的一百来本科幻小说中最棒的一部了。这些小说会让你怀疑向外太空发射可追踪无线电信号是否明智…

时机真巧。我两个小时前刚读完《三体》（Three-Body Problem），就是文章里提到的那本科幻小说。文章说科幻小说不是对未来的预测，而是对当下的寓言，这说得太对了。作为一个几乎只读西方……

想要在当代虚构文学中领略对这些相同概念的迷人探索，不妨读读刘慈欣的《三体》。顺便给个提示，我没看书背面的简介直接看书，阅读体验好得多。那简介剧透了故事发展到很后面才会真正揭晓的情节。
