The Dark Forest
The Dark Forest by Liu CixinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
In many ways I enjoyed this second book of The Three Body Problem series more than the first because the narrative appeared easier to follow (possibly with the benefit of the TV series too). I was less often trying to understand what the story was and could instead focus on what was happening and the various plot twists. The humanity just seem Read more of this blog post »

| Doesn't necessarily answer the titular question, but it gives a very clear idea of what it might look like. Cleverly weaves much that a student of current affairs would know with added value and insight that many wouldn't, providing a fascinating ove ...more | |

| Felt more coherent as a book than the first two, possibly because it had a definitive ending (despite there obviously being several further books). There weren’t exactly a load of plot twists, but I did want to keep listening and it feels as though t ...more | |

| Some really interesting perspectives on how the status quo in finance militates against the poor. Most fairly obvious, but nice to have the details, a few less so. So in that sense it’s an important and useful book. Not exactly a page turner, which r ...more | |

| It's an interesting concept and very worthwhile, but I felt it was a stretch for an entire book, especially at the beginning. There was never a question of not finishing it, but it wasn't a page turner and I'm not exactly sure what we should do with ...more | |

| Probably the best of the Three Body trilogy. I like speculative sci-fi and this at least appears plausible to a casually educated eye. The story was pretty compelling too, although the narrative isn’t likely to win a Nobel and is similar in tone to t ...more | |

| A dystopian novel based on the dominance of social media with more than a nod towards 1984. Though published in 2013 it has lost little of its resonance, although curiously it makes many of the same overestimations each generation makes about the imm ...more | |
