The Three-Body Problem Trilogy by Cixin Liu
(lemmy.ml)
My opinion:
- Interesting concept of a Dark Forest & cosmic sociology axioms.
- Unpleasant characters: Ye Wenjie (narcissistic and psychopathic), Cheng Xin (a kind billionaire lol).
- Disappointing ending—the last few chapters feel weak.
Bonus: Absolutely fascinating interpretation of the first book by @yogthos@lemmy.ml.
I’ve read a few of his books besides the trilogy and all his characters are “terrible”.
They seem to me more the personification of a type of personality rather than real characters, while the real protagonists are the groups / factions.
