listening to The Three-Body Problem as an audiobook and it’s not as hard to follow as I was afraid of. It also sets up two types of mysteries that get me every time: Why Did All These People Suddenly Commit Suicide? and Why Is Something Weird Showing Up On Film?
so I’m hooked
You don’t need me here. 3 BODY PROBLEM (2024)

Science fiction: The Three-Body Problem / 三体 by Cixin Liu, tr. Ken Liu
Recommended by @mostlyonthefloor, whose copy I have kept for far too long. I'll post it back tomorrow. You were right, it's really good, but damn, that was a hard read which required a lot more focus than I mostly have available right now. Not necessarily because of the science, I think, more because it's a writing style that I'm not very used to — somewhat stilted? Very appropriate for the book, though. Ye Wenjie was a fantastic character.
Oh, and apparently it's been filmed? I'd have assumed that was impossible.
Previously:
The best translations into English do not, in fact, read as if they were originally written in English. The English words are arranged in such a way that the reader sees a glimpse of another culture's patterns of thinking, hears an echo of another language's rhythms and cadences, and feels a tremor of another people's gestures and movements.
— Ken Liu, translator's postscript to The Three-Body Problem, by Liu Cixin

you guys don't understand the obsession i have with The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin.
I've read over 600 pages and watched over 8 hours of it in the past week.
Gonna start calling the Big Bang a creation myth but not in an anti-science way, but in contextualing-science-as-one-of-many-epistemological-systems way, and mostly to piss off Liu Cixin and his dumbass opinions in his post-script to The Three-Body Problem
The Three-body problem is a great book so far (that would be even better if the official synopsis wasn't a massive fucking spoiler) but I appreciate the rough loose cannon policeman, essentially a John woo character in what is otherwise mostly intrigue among a cast of academics, managing to take down a bomb-weilding terrorist by just guessing that dramatic fucks always have parental issues
