I watched the excellent Chinese-produced Three Body Problem #cdrama this spring and now hear that Netflix will release the Game of Thrones/Brad Pitt produced version in January.
The original famous sci-fi novel series are complex philosophical meditations on time, history and physics.
Glad more of the world will be able to learn about its genius soon… and read the books! #threebodyproblem
There is no amount of caps lock or combination of words that express my absolute excitement. I'm literally shaking and teared up. It looks so promising.
“As children, we fear the dark. Anything might be out there. The unknown troubles us. There are those who say we should not inquire too closely into who else might be living in that darkness.”...

I am expecting big tech servers will be attacked by the fearing faction, while the other is hoping humans get exterminated by AI in order to save other species from us
I see there are multiple TV/streaming adaptations of Liu Cixin's #ThreeBodyProblem. I found the first novel fascinating and disturbing just like so many, and worthy of the awards and praise.
But I don't see people talk enough about the sexism and homophobia in the two sequels, where compassion is equated with femininity and "too much" compassion is ultimately the downfall of humanity. As the story progresses, embracing gender diversity and alternatives to traditional roles is depicted as a sign of decadence and decay in the human species. It's a grim, individualistic, and patriarchal view of the future in many ways. I hope the TV shows (especially the Netflix adaptation if it goes past the first book) do better.
