3 BODY PROBLEM – Are you watching this show? If not, you should be. It has the intelligence of Oppenheimer and the wonder of HEROES. The writing is so BRILLIANT. An American TV series based on the book was released by Netflix, with David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo writing and executive producing.[58] It was released on 21 March 2024. Thank you to Renie Oxley, who is taking my 6-Week Teleseminar, for telling me about it. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss share that the show is about people finding a community and family that is not their biological family. They do such a fantastic job of grounding it through the characters.
The Three-Body Problem (Chinese: 三体; lit. 'Three-Body') is a story by Chinese science fiction author Liu Cixin. It is the first novel in the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy.[1] The series portrays a fictional past, present, and future in which Earth encounters an alien civilization from a nearby system of three sun-like stars orbiting one another, a representative example of the three-body problem in orbital mechanics.
The story was initially serialized in Science Fiction World in 2006 before it was published as a standalone book in 2008.[2] In 2006, it received the Galaxy Award (Yínhé Jiǎng) for Chinese science fiction.[3] In 2012, it was described as one of the genre's most successful novels of the previous two decades.[4] The English translation by Ken Liu was published by Tor Books in 2014.[5] That translation was the first novel by an Asian writer to win a Hugo Award for Best Novel;[6][7] it was also nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel.[8]
