reviewed The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin (Remembrance of Earth's Past, #2)

Liu Cixin: The Dark Forest (Paperback, 2016, Head of Zeus)

This is the second novel in the "Remembrance of Earth’s Past" near-future trilogy. Written by …

Excellent. On par with Asimov.

The second part is as good as the first one. A great combination of astrophysics, sociology, philosophy. Luckily I read Asimov's Foundations before Cixin books and I see there are alot of references and parallels with them. The translation to EN was better and more understandabla in the first part. I had big difficulties imagining characters. Maybe because of Chinese names, or because of their one-dimensionality.
