I found Cixin Liu's 'Death's End' gripping, but also disappointing. It's full of brilliant SF inventiveness, but it's politically/philosophically simplistic, and it has a bizarrely essentialist approach to gender.

Rachel Carson should be granted a retroactive Nobel prize for her 1962 work Silent Spring. And Silent Spring should be required reading by every high school or secondary school student

and to your question - yes, I first learned of this book only through the book The Three-Body Problem by Chinese author Liu Cixin, published in 2008

[1/6]

I read Cixin Liu's The Three-Body Problem. While its blend of science-fiction and philosophy is intriguing, yet understanding doesn't always equate with interest.

My review:

I read Liu Cixin’s #TheThreeBodyProblem trilogy back to back when I first heard about them maybe 5-6 years ago. Excellent novels.

Then I was excited to hear the duo behind #HBO's #GameofThrones, Denioff and Weiss were adapting it for #Netflix. *THEN* I hear that #Tencent already adapted it in #Chinese, and it aired last year!

While I couldn't find it at the time (sorry, so I torrented it), its showing up on streaming platform #Peacock.. tomorrow?
