The Three-Body Problem: Soon to be a major Netflix series: 1
When a string of prominent scientists begin dying under suspicious circumstances, nanotech engineer Wang Miao is drawn into an undercover investigation of a shadowy group operating at the fringes of the scientific world. What starts as intrigue soon spirals into something far stranger. An enigmatic online game pulls Wang deeper into questions about humanity's position in the universe, and the answers he uncovers point to a threat of catastrophic, civilisation-ending proportions. Cixin Liu constructs a story that moves between cold-war China and the outer limits of theoretical physics with a confidence that's genuinely rare. It's dense in places, yes, but the payoff is worth the patience. A compelling, deeply unsettling read.
