The Three-Body Problem

I really went into this book knowing nothing about it besdies it won a bunch of awards, so I really enjoyed the slow reveal of what is actually happening. At times, the in-depth physics was too much for me, but on the whole I thought it was an incredibly unique and insightful piece of science fiction that really deserved all the awards. As someone who reads a lot of books by western authors, the difference in narrative structure and cultural references were refreshing. My concept of modern China is pretty fuzzy, I'll admit, so it's interesting to see a book by a Chinese author portraying Chinese history and future through a critical lens Ken Liu's translation was very helpful in explaining a lot of the cultural nuances without taking away from Cixin Liu's story. I'm not sure I'm ready to jump into book 2 right away, but definitely logging it on my to-read list for the future.
