just finished the three body trilogy and am here to tell you, with great displeasure, this series collapsed like its own universe. it is BAD. heavy reliance on technology as magic, morally unhinged, illogical plot, nihilistic character development (nothing anyone does matters).https://twitter.com/micsolana/status/1091078249357094912 …
much in the series is meant to be insightful commentary on human nature, but it’s clear the author has never left china. his history directs every world decision, every plot twist. and so this is the series’ only silver lining - it is at least a great study of chinese culture
wow. everyone i've heard from has said the opposite... hitting silicon valley with true contrarian takes.
it is bad - technically and morally and for your mental health
I read those. Terrible. Pushed myself to finish them. Danger.
Glad I’m not the only one
Wow your new colleague might disagree, can't wait to see this play out. @zebulgar
Yeah, Three Body Problem starts off strong! The Dark Forest was rough, although from what I've heard that is directly related to the fact they changed up translators and a lot got lost in translation. The third one had some novel weapons tech, but was definitely nihilistic AF.
Have you read Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton? That's got some really cool future tech and deep world-building. Also its a LOT less depressing.
I’ll grant you tech as magic, but for the last three, what is it supposed to be?
morally illustrative, a surprising but logical plot, decisions made by characters matter
