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.

I wonder why th I didn't read this book before. Almost all modern scifi is borrowing ideas from it.

Masterpiece of sociology.

So much better than Netflix. It motivated me to freshen my knowledge of (astro)physics.

@jkreads As I'm progressing reading, I see the show is dumbed down version of the book. So much it is unbearable. Visual flickering vs cosmic background flickering, explanation of physics, computer working etc. Everything important is missing in the show. Yes, Da Shi is the only character that is somehow truthfully represented.

After 2 chapters - yes, it is quite different(better) from the Netflix version.

Ni mi najbolj 'sedla'. Stereotipni liki in odnosi, precej nelogičnosti (v zvezi z rač. napravami - nepravilno umeščene v čas) in pravopisnih napak (je bila sploh lektorirana?), splošni občutek: krinđ.

Lahko kar neham brati druge knjige, gospa pisateljica je tako visoko postavila lestvico. Super mešanica steklenih stropov, filozofije in Lepega.

On glass ceilings, philosophy (of Beautiful). The writer set the bar so high that after I read this book it's hard to find something as satisfying as this book.
