Death's End

The story is less cohesive than The Dark Forest but this is easily compensated for by the incredible creativity and inventiveness of Liu Cixin's plot.

What Bostrom does with AI, Liu Cixin does with interstellar civilizations.Death's End is tough to read in an existential sense, but a very strong finish to the best sci-fi series I've ever read.
