pickCan‘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.
pickWhen 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.
pickOK! 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.
pickIt‘s important to read the classics! A sci-fi must read, excited to dive into the series.
pickThis third book in the Final Architecture series brings the trilogy to a satisfying close. Idris resists the plan to destroy the Architects, knowing they are compelled to obey their unseen masters. Meanwhile, a betrayal separates the crew of the Vulture God, and calls into question whether there can be a united front against the enemy. A fitting end to a brilliant and imaginative found family space opera. Loved it!
pickOne of the best world-building I read in a long time; the intricate detailing of Le Guin does not suffocate; it is as fresh as Winter itself. Same goes for character building. The use of stark contrasting - between countries, between landscapes, between characters - was done so smoothly that I both felt like I was going back and forth yet within the given world of Gethen still - nothing felt detached.
