Audiobook narrated by Bruno Roubicek.
Odd but compelling. A sci-fi story involving a scientist from the Cultural Revolution, a video game about a strange world and a science based mystery.
- The detail within this book is a lot, to the point where I couldn't have told you effectively what the book was about until about 75% through. The threads are drawn together at the end but even so there's a lot of little details that seemingly are irrelevant, though maybe they are addressed in the next book.
-The world of Three-Body was fascinating and I enjoyed those bizarre and confusing chapters a lot. I would probably enjoy a similar game in real life.
- The mystery was weird but good and I only guessed part of the solution. There's a lot of set up as well for the next few books but it does leave some things feeling unfinished.
If you like sci-fi that's a little different and not western based, The Three-Body Problem is engaging, compelling and a good read.
