The Three-Body Problem

1 About this book

During China's Cultural Revolution the young astrophysicist Ye Wenjie sees her father, a physics professor, beaten to death at a political rally, and is later sent to work at Red Coast, a secret military base that searches for life beyond Earth. Decades afterward, in present-day China, the nanomaterials researcher Wang Miao is drawn into an investigation of strange events among leading scientists. His inquiries lead him to a virtual-reality game called Three Body, set on a world with three suns and no stable seasons, and to the consequences of a message that was sent from Red Coast long ago. Liu Cixin's novel, first serialized in China in 2006 and translated into English by Ken Liu, opens the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy.
