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.
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.
