About the book
Liu Cixin's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy begins with The Three-Body Problem and expands into a vast science-fiction history of humanity's encounter with an alien civilisation from the Trisolaris system. Beginning amid China's Cultural Revolution and moving across centuries, the series explores first contact, physics, technological development, deterrence, cosmic sociology and the survival of civilisations on an immense scale. Its blend of scientific ideas and philosophical speculation made it a landmark of contemporary Chinese science fiction.
