Just Getting Started With “The Three-Body Problem” (2008 novel)

The first installment of Cixin Liu’s epic trilogy “Remembrance of
Earth’s Past” takes its name from a famously unsolvable
problem in orbital mechanics and that sets the tone for the
heady, complex, hard science fiction of what’s to come. In
episode 306, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they are
just beginning their journey into this series with Part One and
Part Two, appreciate Ken Liu’s translation, explore the Chinese
Cultural Revolution through the character Ye Wenjie, witness the
most ominous countdown of all time with Wang Miao, and wonder
about the mechanics of what seems like a very important
game.

Join them next week for their thoughts on the first four episodes
of Dan Weiss and David Benioff’s Netflix adaptation!
