Remembrance of Earth's Past: un'epica sulla vita e sull'universo

4 stars

Difficile recensire una trilogia come quella di Liu senza rivelare spoiler.

La storia si svolge a partire dalla rivoluzione Maoista in Cina, scorre veloce attraverso il nostro tempo, e poi si inerpica sempre più negli abissi del tempo e dello spazio futuri.

Apprezzabile lo sforzo per mantenere, pur a livello di popular science, un certo rigore tecnico/scientifico.

Il punto di vista privilegiato è quello sino/asiatico, ma lo sguardo abbraccia tutta l'umanità con tatto e comprensione delle mille culture che caratterizzano il nostro presente e il nostro passato.

Mille questioni di natura etica, sociologica e culturale si intrecciano in un affresco che usa magistralmente la fantascienza per ragionare di temi che in ultima analisi sono la vita in società e l'universo nel senso più ampio di questi termini.

Affascinante e scorrevole, salvo in alcuni punti dove qualche taglio editoriale avrebbe reso, secondo me, il ritmo più adeguato agli eventi narrati (es., …

The Three-Body Problem

2 stars

Another mediocre read, I’m not having much luck at the moment! This started off so well, I was absolutely hooked by the clever, sophisticated scientific concepts and Liu’s easy writing style. The sections set in 1960s China were fascinating, it kind of felt like a sweeping historical sci-fi. I was also really invested in the main characters early on, and I especially loved Da Shi, the noir-ish detective with a bit of an attitude.

But then somewhere around the halfway mark things got really bogged down with the science, in fact the science became the main character. The scientific concepts became very hard for a casual reader to grasp and Liu would spend pages, sometimes entire chapters, dissecting and analysing these complex ideas. Quite frankly, I got bored and felt quite alienated as a reader. All of the momentum went out of the storytelling and character development, which just felt …

J‘ai trouvé ma lecture passionnante, et palpitante, mais j‘ai quand même quelques réserves

« Le problème à trois corps » est trilogie de SF chinoise, voire de hard-SF. En 2021, le roman avait déjà une belle renommée car il avait obtenu le prix Hugo (en 2015) et que Barack Obama en avait fait l‘éloge public. Comme j‘écris ma chronique avec 3 ans de retard, je peux ajouter qu‘elle a encore gagnée en visibilité cette année, puisqu‘elle a été adaptée en série par Netflix !

  1. En Chine, la Révolution culturelle bat son plein. Ye Wenjie est une jeune astrophysicienne dont le père, également éminent scientifique, a été accusé d’être contre-révolutionnaire, et exécuté sous ses yeux. Elle refuse de le condamner et est envoyée en camps de rééducation… bref, révolution culturelle et fort passif pour Ye Wenjie, vous voyez le truc. Puis, ses compétences étant reconnues, elle sera finalement affecté à la base secrète de Côte-Rouge pour participer à un mystérieux projet…

És un llibre enrevessat amb un punt psicodèlic interessantíssim i utilitzant la cultura xinesa com a base que això, des del nostre occident mediterrani, el fa suggerent. T'obliga a repensar els límits del nostre propi pensament i, fins i tot, algunes creences. Un d'aquells llibres de ciència-ficció que són complets, que ho aborden tot. A vegades em recorda a la Fundació, a la Fi de la Infància o fins i tot a Encontres amb Rama.

The Three-Body Problem

4 stars

Imaginative and thoughtful "hard" science fiction. Fingers crossed that Netflix will do a good job with the series. The setting in China was interesting. Some parts were excellent, while others were a little tiresome (e.g., some of the military/police conversations), but I enjoyed it quite a bit overall. The chapter with Newton, Von Neumann and the human-formation computer was a fascinating and humorous highlight for me.

Not just bizarrely nihilistic and cynical, but also pro-authoritarian propaganda

Content warning This book is intensely political.

Spannend aufgebaut mit verschiedenen Handlungssträngen, die sich irgendwann zusammenfügen. Technische / physikalische Grundprinzipien auch für mich als Laien verständlich dargestellt. Und die Frage nach dem "First Contact" mit all ihren Implikationen wurde toll beackert. Zusätzlich erfährt von noch etwas über die jüngere chinesische Geschichte.
