The deeper I got into this second entry in the three body problem trilogy, the more engrossed I was and the more I enjoyed it - so even tho the translation was sometimes clunky, and even tho there are a few scientific missteps that did bother me a bit, I can’t wait to read the last book.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
