Description

Dive into the epic world of Chinese science fiction with this deep dive into Liu Cixin’s award-winning trilogy, Remembrance of Earth’s Past—better known as the Three-Body series. In this episode, we unpack the gripping narratives of all three novels: The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death’s End, which chronicle humanity’s first contact with the enigmatic Trisolarans and the ensuing battle for survival across centuries.

Discover the hard-science concepts that define the series—from sophons (subatomic supercomputers) to curvature propulsion—and explore how Liu Cixin masterfully blends astrophysics, philosophy, and political intrigue. We’ll also discuss the trilogy’s global impact, including its Hugo Award win, international acclaim, and adaptations like the Tencent TV series and upcoming Netflix show.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to this universe, join us for a thought-provoking journey through one of sci-fi’s most ambitious sagas.
