The winner of 2015 Hugo Award. Winner of the Nebula Award.
The Three-Body Problem is a masterpiece of enormous scope and
vision, written by Cixin, Liu, the most prevailing science
fiction writer in China today and tells a story set against
the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution. Back in those
days, Hongan , a secret military project, aiming to explore
outer space civilization and establish contact with aliens,
had made breakthrough progress. But when Wenjie Ye pressed
the launch key, she didn't know the destiny of human beings
had been completely changed. The first signal from the earth,
with the sun as its center, dashed forward to the deeper side
of the universe. Four light years away, the Three-Body
civilization is in big trouble. Just like the earth, they
also revolve around the sun, but quite randomly. After
hundreds of destruction and resurrection, they were forced to
break away from the home planet. And at the very moment, they
received the message from the earth. After locking the
earthman's basic science with super technology, the huge
universe fleet of the Three-Body started to march towards the
earth. The destiny of human beings was approaching. **
