Can‘t believe I hadn‘t read this ever- certainly extended moments of brilliance and far more profound than I had expected. Be warned this is not like either movie- but more of a third very good option. The PKD fan within is sated.
I am loving everything about this book! I'm desperately going to need more cozy sci-fi in my life!
The Three-Body Problem is the winner for May's #LitsySciFiBookClub selection. My local library has this available. Kindle price is $11.99 and used from $7.15 on Amazon. I noticed one slightly loved copy on ebay for .99 + 4.87 shipping.

When a body is uncovered during construction work in Mars' Sahara Dome, it provokes a crisis in Human-Disty relations which can only be solved by finding out who died and why.
I liked that the author's aliens really are aliens, part of cultures which are logical on their own terms but which we can't really understand. However, there were lots of references to earlier events in Flint's and DeRicci's careers only some of which I recognised.
OK! Two books down of the Three-Body Problem trilogy, with one to go. Really liked where this one went, sci fi to the max. Super interesting characters and story lines that I didn‘t see coming. Not sure these three books are the right read for a beach vacation though! The possible end of civilization is pretty heavy.
It‘s important to read the classics! A sci-fi must read, excited to dive into the series.
