summary

Prepare to be dazzled by the second book in the The Three-Body Problem trilogy. In The Dark Forest, we follow the aftermath of the Trisolaran’s message to earth revealing their plan to invade in 400 years. The only advantage the human race may have is our unpredictable and creative human minds, which the Trisolarans cannot read. This gives birth to the Wallfacer Project, where four men are given unlimited resources to prepare for the invasion, with only one of them being the true key to humanities defense. The fourth man is a seemingly unambitious astronomer, Luo Ji, unaware of his status within the project, or that he's being secretly hunted by the Trisolarans. Cixin Liu's masterful storytelling in this groundbreaking trilogy combines science fiction with an insightful commentary on humanity's relationship with power and what sacrifices we're willing to make in the name of survival. This eerie and thrilling novel is not to be missed, especially for fans of mind-bending sci-fi. The Dark Forest is soon to be a Netflix original series, so don't wait and join the Trisolaran resistance movement now!
