"A Three Body Solution" by Ken Breniman
A Three Body Solution is a bold and wildly imaginative debut that pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction in all the best ways. Ken Breniman delivers a story that’s equal parts emotional, eccentric, and thought-provoking, blending sci-fi elements with rich human experiences. The novel brings together a vibrant cast of humans, AI, and compassionate alien beings, all navigating a world on the verge of collapse. What makes this book truly special is how it balances outrageous, drag-show energy with sincere reflections on grief, identity, healing, and transformation.
Breniman’s background in trauma and emotional recovery adds depth to every interaction, making the story feel both deeply personal and spiritually expansive. The humor is sharp, the queer representation is refreshing, and the psychedelic layers challenge readers to rethink what evolution—personal and collective—really means.
This is a novel that dares to be messy, tender, and revolutionary all at once. It invites readers to shed old stories, imagine braver futures, and remember that even in chaos, love and connection remain humanity’s strongest hope.
