Publisher's Summary

Listen to the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon – adapted into a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.

1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind.

Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns.

This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.

Well made - as somebody's first audio book

My experiences is only with reading book, so compared to that this feels like a decent enough way to get a story, though rather slow compared to my usual standards of reading, I mostly listened while traveling, cooking or other chores, though on ocassion it did grasp my imagination and my full attention as an engrossing regular book does

A fantastic concept executed to perfection.

This book is a fantastic concept executed to perfection.
It deals with an enormous scale and a diverse range of concepts but is still at its core a heartfelt story.
My thanks to the writer, the translator and the narrator!

One of the best sci-fi I ever read

I love this audiobook but one question arises in my mind, If civilization can manipulate protons why are they not able to save their planet from three suns?
