Do you like to read a book before or after the release of its screen adaptation? I like to read mine before, so I'm really glad Experal Singapore got The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin (translated by Ken Liu) to me just as the series inspired by this book is released on Netflix 🤗

Ye Wenjie is an astrophysicist graduate who witnesses her father’s death during China’s Cultural Revolution. When she is branded a traitor, sent to prison, then to a secret Chinese military facility, it sets off a series of events that results in contact with a sinister alien civilisation. Years later, Wang Miao, a nanotechnology professor, must uncover conspiracies involving the deaths of scientists and prevent the aliens’ invasion of Earth.

The premise and concept of this story are intriguing. While the hard science can get clunky at times, it didn’t take away my enjoyment on the book as the author tells a compelling story, peeling away the layers to reveal the terrible consequences that await as a result of human weakness and naivety. This is the first of a trilogy and I’m excited to see how it all ends. I’d recommend this adult science fiction to teenagers and those older.
