I didn't like the way The Dark Forest, the second Three Body Problem book, portrayed this. ”Of course there's no intelligent life out there, because they'll just be destroyed by a more advanced civilization once they find out, because everyone is always hostile to each other. This also extends to the last remnants of humanity in space killing each other.”
Some civilizations have been fighting an endless transdimensional grudgematch to the point that successive inevitable dimensional collapses purge all the races that aren't hyper survivalist and also hyper advanced. The trisolarans are an example of a primitive civilization who's experiences have somewhat mirrored this extremely poisoned outlook.

To be fair to the TBP trilogy..
