Trammell Hudson reviewed Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin

Interesting but not engaging

2 stars

The book has many cultural revolution analogies that give it an unfamiliar series of allusions for western readers. Overall I didn't find the alien technologies and game theme engaging and struggled to finish it. Haven't read the sequels yet, either.
