The Dark Forest

I enjoyed this one even more than the first book in this series (probably because everything felt more familiar after watching the Netflix series called 3 Body Problem). The Dark Forest is book 2 of the Three Body Problem Series —  a science fiction trilogy also referred to as the Remembrance of Earth’s Past. FYI: I have the final book in the trilogy on hold via the Libby APP (with a 4 week wait at the moment!).

Here is a synopsis of the book via the publisher:

The Dark Forest is the second novel in the groundbreaking, Hugo Award-winning series from China’s most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu.

In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries’ time. The aliens’ human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth’s defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he’s the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
