THE THREE BODY PROBLEM

Since Simon bring the Sci-fi topic i will grab on it, i'm gonna talk about the Sci-Fi book The Three Body Problem

The Three Body Problem is a book written  by Sixin Liu, a chinese author. Is the first book of a trilogy called The Memory Of The Past Of The Earth. This year i read the whole trilogy and it broke my mind.

I`ll try to not make spoilers so i only gonna review general aspects of the book. 

It has an awesome narrative, at first it’s very historical and emotional, then political, and a big psychological thriller, all this with different time scenes and main characters for which the story goes jumping.  As a novel it is the best i’v read, once you start reading it wont let you take a pause for a long time.

i think when most people think about a Sci-Fi they have this fixed idea of  a fantasy world like Star Trek or Star Wars, but this book is not that kind, it’s realistic, not far from us and hard science. The base context of the story it is everything less fantastik, normal world, normal people just some scientifically possible but not seen jet situations that definds the routs of erth and humanity future, and it doesn't cheat on science.

The Sci Fi that we are used to have been using the same core ideas for years but this one propose original, creative and smart ideas that play a strong roll in the novel plot. It plays with the really limits of phisics and it makes you part of the developing idea. you end up wondering about them or new questions of reality and existence.

And of cours the big plot, throw the book there are three stories that collide closing the book and opening the trilogy big story, the principal topics are science and the limits of reality, human civilization, other space, survival.

having said all this here  i hope you read it even if you are not a Sci Fi fan, but be aware it has a lot of physics.
