Kort biografi
Liu Cixin, born in June 1963, is a representative of the new generation of Chinese science fiction authors and recognized as a leading voice in Chinese science fiction. He was awarded the China Galaxy Science Fiction Award for eight consecutive years, from 1999 to 2006 and again in 2010. His representative work The Three-body Problem is the BEST STORY of 2015 Hugo Awards, the 3rd of 2015 Campbell Award finalists, and nominee of 2015 Nebulas Award.

His works have received wide acclaim on account of their powerful atmosphere and brilliant imagination. Liu Cixin's stories successfully combine the exceedingly ephemeral with hard reality, all the while focussing on revealing the essence and aesthetics of science. He has endeavoured to create a distinctly Chinese style of science fiction. Liu Cixin is a member of the China Writers' Association and the Shanxi Writers' Association.

Jeff's 2019 Reads i The Green Dragon (april 2021)

Recensioner

Series Info/Source: This is the first book in the Three-Body Problem series. I got an eGalley of this book through NetGalley to review.

Thoughts: I finished this but it was a struggle. I skimmed through the last 20% or so of the story, to see what happened. I almost put this down multiple times, but some of the VR elements introduced about 30% of the way in made me curious enough to keep going.

The writing here is stiff and the dialogue is awkward. I assume a lot has been lost in translation, but based on the other reviews of those who have read the original Chinese version maybe not. The characters are forgettable and hard to keep track of. Really the characters feel like generic placeholders that any random person could fill in.

I actually liked the beginning of this but then when we moved to present I lost interest. I did appreciate that we did get to go back to see the events that happened in the past progress. The story ends up bouncing between three different settings the present real world, the present in the VR Three Body World, and the past. There are footnotes throughout which did explain a lot of the science and Chinese historical subtleties in more detail; I liked learning about this but was frustrated that these footnotes broke up the story even more.

There are some very creative ideas here and that seems to be mainly what this book is, an idea story. I did enjoy the irony around the actions the characters took in both locations being based around how much they disliked their own species (I know this is a vague statement but I am trying to avoid spoilers).

The ideas here are cool...the plot, the characters, and the general readability here are weak. I did not enjoy this and it was not fun to read, it felt like work to read and was almost textbook like at times.

My Summary (3/5): Overall I really struggled with this book and do not plan on reading any more books by this author. Yes, this was a neat idea but the flow of the story, the characters, and the writing were all very awkward and weak. This was work to read and I didn't really enjoy it. I do appreciate the idea and creativity though.

Interesante perspectiva novedosa sobre la ciencia ficción. Aunque anticomunista, es crítico y sus cuentos tienen interesantes enfoques, y con dilemas que hacen pensar.

Siendo la continuación de "El Problema de los tres cuerpos", libro que me gusto mucho (4.5/5), empecé a leer esta obra con bastante cautela para no arruinar mi lectura, pero la verdad me sorprendió bastante y me gusto incluso más que el primero, todo lo que sentí que le falto al primero lo tuvo este.

Es un libro más fácil de leer gracias a su apartado "científico" menos denso, aunque igual tiene varias partes en las que puede costar un poco entender de de que se esta hablando pero en comparación al primero es mucho mas "amigable".

Hay una infinidad de personajes, de distintas nacionalidades, edades, profesiones, que en un principio no entendía para que estaban ya que al parecer no aportaban nada a la trama, pero es ahí donde el autor magistralmente nos quiere dar a entender como responde la civilización humana en su conjunto al futuro aciago que se acerca, como si la "humanidad" fuera un personaje más en la trama.

De este punto en adelante no podre evitar posibles SPOILERS por lo que lean bajo su propio riesgo.

El tema de los Vallados (y desvalladores) me pareció muy creativo y como lector me mantenía al pendiente tratando también de desentrañar cual sería su plan oculto, cual de ellos más ingenioso, pero siempre con el "derrotismo" y "escapismo" presente finalmente en cada uno de sus planes, al menos en 3 de ellos. Algunas cosas parecieron obvias otras no tanto y algunas sorpresas me lleve a medida que avanzaba la lectura.

Los personajes de Luo Ji y Zhang Beihai me parecieron muy bien creados y con un buen desarrollo, algo que critique del primer libro es que sus personajes me parecieron muy planos, bueno aquí al menos ya no son unidimensionales y estos dos en especial tienen claramente más de una capa. "Da Shi" sigue siendo un gran personaje secundario.

Sin hablar mucho de la trama tengo que decir que en su segunda parte (después de 200 años) el triunfalismo, los planes absurdos, el encuentro con la sonda y el desastre que ocurre posteriormente me pareció al principio obvio, ridículo, super esperable, pero al analizarlo comprendí que es la idea que quiere transmitir el autor y creo que como civilización que llevamos repitiendo errores los últimos 3000 años posiblemente actuaríamos de la misma forma.

Finalmente lo disfrute demasiado, me tuvo enganchando todo el tiempo y creo que si les gusto el primer libro este no los defraudara. El final me ha parecido excelente, el concepto de El Bosque Oscuro genial y da para infinidad de posibles escenarios, es medianamente cerrado por lo que uno no queda en un cliffhanger terrible ni nada parecido.
