This is the second novel in the "Remembrance of Earth’s Past" near-future trilogy. Written by the China's multiple-award-winning science fiction author, Cixin Liu.

In Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion—four centuries in the future. The aliens' human collaborators have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret.

This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's …

Excellent. On par with Asimov.

5 étoiles

The second part is as good as the first one. A great combination of astrophysics, sociology, philosophy. Luckily I read Asimov's Foundations before Cixin books and I see there are alot of references and parallels with them. The translation to EN was better and more understandabla in the first part. I had big difficulties imagining characters. Maybe because of Chinese names, or because of their one-dimensionality.

Content warning Kontuz izenburuaren azalpenarekin ez baduzu liburua irakurri

"Lurraren iraganaren oroitzapena" (edo "'Hiru gorputzak' ezagunagoa den) trilogiaren bigarren alea. Bigarren eskuko azoka batean ikusi nituen eta lehenagotik zekarten famagatik hartu. Harrituta itzi ninduan lehenengoak ez nuelako horrelako istoriorik espero baina denboralditxo bat pasa da bigarren hau irakurri dudanera arte (ea azkenengoa den hurrengorako ez dudan hainbesteko tarterik uzten. Gero eta liburu meheagoen zale bihurtzen ari naiz). Hau ere oso ondo dago baina lehenengoaren sorpresa efektua galdurik 'arruntagoa' iruditu zait. Gehien gustatu zaidana, agian izenburuaren azalpena (adi hemendik aurrera) Unibertso osoa baso ilun bat bezala irudikatzen du, non aurrerapen-maila ezberdina garatu duten zibilizazioak ehiztari ixilen antzera dabiltzaten bere burua agerian utziko duen hurrengo harrapakinaren esperoan. Ikuspuntu ilun honek irakurlea erabat astinduko du 'Gizadia' zein aurrerapen mailara heldu daitekeen (Doctorowen "Walkaway"n agertzen zena baina onean gogorarazi dit) erakusten baitio eta gero zartakoa eman.

Continuación de El problema de los tres cuerpos

3 étoiles

La historia parece centrarse en ésta ocasión en los vallados, tres hombres con plena libertad para planificar la defensa de la tierra ante la futura llegada de los extraterrestres invasores, que ocurrirá dentro de 400 años. el comienzo me está gustando, cuando lo termine actualizaré la reseña.

The Dark Forest

3 étoiles

The book's premise is fascinating, it tackles quetions about life, cooperation and conflict. But I agree with kab, the author writes misogynisticly with very objectified female characters.
