Three-Body Problem TV Series (By Tencent, CCTV) is going to release its first episode today! (2023/1/15)The Three-Body Problem (Chinese: 三体; lit. 'Three-Body...
The anime has been very Not Great so far (I'm still gonna finish it) but this looks fantastic.
Ewwww, that sounds bad. Luckily my library has the books, but I’ll definitely pass on putting priority. …in further thought: as a Westoid I can’t criticize, because that’s still less fucked up than what we do on the reg…but still that’s pretty bad.
As a comrade, do you consider the books to be worth it? Like, I dipped out early because of the cultural revolution stuff. So I don’t know enough to have a valid opinion.
Yes, that is all true. I can’t help but judge that statement in light of my own education though. My education was deeply focused on religious education, and the amount of complete ignorance I see here and almost everywhere else regarding historical facts relating to that makes me deeply skeptical on the validity of lay-people being allowed to have opinions that are taken seriously on anything.
Like, I’m not an expert, therefore I’m. Kt allowed to have an opinion. Same way somebody who doesn’t speak Aramaic shouldn’t be allowed to have an opinion on the gospel
Point being: ignorance is a complete disqualification. And I’m ignorant on this.
Even ignoring any politics, I thought they were just okay. The writing style was awkward, which made me wonder if the translation I read was poor, and if so how much that hurt my enjoyment.
I thought they were pretty fun books. You get a little bit of mystery, an alien invasion story, people coming up with wacky plans to stop it, some wild shit at the end of the trilogy. There's some weird gender brainworms that don't actually impact the story very much, but the series moves past the cultural revolution pretty quickly. It mostly serves as a backstory for why Wenjie does what she does.
Read them if you like cool sci-fi stories and don't mind some cringe every now and then. Or just watch one of the three adaptations coming out.
Thanks for the response. Your other comment about the names was really interesting actually. Yes, gender brainworms bad, but as a non-speaker I always love it when people clue-in others regarding the wordplay. I have almost universally heard good things, but thats from reddit libs. It is nice to know comrades here also like it. Sometimes it feels like being gaslit when mainstream nerd culture praises bad stuff, so its nice to check in with people here on things.
I am intrigued by "wild shit". sounds like I need to give it another go.

But the New Testament's in Greek?
The original is Aramaic. It varies between different gospels. But Aramaic is language some of the oldest known copies are in.
