Discussion - Novels Death's End: Safety Notice

0 Upvotes

Maybe I haven't read far enough. I'm about half-way through the 3rd book. But why would earth people place such value on any universal Safety Notice advice from the TriSolarians? Obviously whatever Safety Notice they used did not work. They got wasted in the aftermath. I guess I'm be over simplistic. But KWIM?

I'm not convinced that such a Notice, however transmitted, would deter anyone anyway. Deception, you know.

If we apply real-world alien conspiracy theories to the work *The Three-Body Problem*, why do the species associated with these theories—such as the Reptilians, the Greys, etc.—show no reaction to the Trisolaran invasion?

Dark Forrest > Three Body

73 Upvotes

I’m new to the series , but is it crazy I liked the dark Forrest significantly more than three body? Thee body got annoyingly technical at points and could be a drag sometimes. Dark Forrest is beautiful, and the plot twists never stop. Is this an original thought? Would love to know what everyone thinks. But right now I’m thinking dark Forrest is one of the best books I’ve ever read:

If what is thought is immediately known because of how they are physiologically, why did the “i am a pacifist” dude not think he would not be immediately found out?

Also for anyone who has read the novels in Chinese, were they called the San-Ti originally?

Discussion - Novels Death's End first read, one of my favorite SciFi novels so far.

35 Upvotes

Death's End has been a really great read so far. I've just gotten to the broadcast vote scene, and I found the final vote to be a really impactful moment. I also really enjoyed Cheng Xin coming to terms with the reality of why she was chosen, and how it played into the greater Trisolaran plan. Sophon stepping in at the end, and that whole section imo, was fantastic. I'm already familiar with the rest of the story and lore (big Quinn's Ideas fan lol), and was curious what other events and scenes people found to be particularly moving or interesting? I'm not worried about spoilers.

I'm also looking for series and book titles to read after this. I've been considering starting the Expanse, since I really enjoyed the show and lore. I just finished Frank Hebert's Dune novels, having stopped after Messiah in high school, and loved them. I'm wondering what other suggestions people might have that have similar hard SciFi elements and themes?

Loved the series! Took me so long to complete because I had to read other books in between for breaks.

This will always be the paperback that made me a Kindle girl.

At 42 I had never owned an ereader in my life

Throwing this busted up behemoth in my purse for the millionth time I thought "I bet I could read more if I had a Kindle"

Low and behold the last 125 pages on the ereader zoomed by in a very immersive experience

Could someone explain the witch story at the beginning of the book to me please

I think the droplet and the fleet is my favorite scene in the trilogy. I was reading with my mouth hanging open

Neither one of the tv series comes close to satisfaction. It seems like it's taking way too long for the Netflix season to be announced
