Nominated for a Hugo (after some reshuffling of the ballot - I should really do a Saturday Book Discussion post about that :P), The Three-Body Problem is the first book in a trilogy by Cixin Liu so far, this is the only one that has been translated into English, but the others are forthcoming. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. With the scope of Dune and the commercial action of Independence Day, Three-Body Problem is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from China's most beloved science fiction author, Liu Cixin.
