Three-Body Problem Boxed Set: (The Three-Body Problem, the Dark Forest, Death's End)

Unlike other boxsets that have a thin paper cover, these books come in a sturdy, glossy box holder.

Books were in good condition. But the box case it was in, was damaged. As a collector, its sad to see the corners of the box torn and bent. Pictures could be shared if needed.

Good

Very much recommended, especially, because it is way more interesting, than the netflix show, which pretty much explains very little and focuses on everything else to create suspense and drama and good TV.

Het pakje in prima staat ontvangen ! Top !

I picked up the Three-Body Problem trilogy after watching the series, and as is usually the way, the books are miles better. The depth, the scope and the imagination on the page just can’t be squeezed fully into a TV adaptation. The story itself is brilliant – it starts with a mysterious, almost unsettling tone in the first book and then grows into something vast, cosmic and unforgettable by the end of the trilogy. It mixes real science with big “what if” ideas, but still keeps enough human drama to stop it drifting into pure theory. Even knowing some of the plot from the show, the books were gripping because they deliver so much more detail and nuance. And for anyone curious, I’ve since been told the original Chinese dubbed version of the series is closer to the source material and, apparently, the better watch. If you like science fiction that makes you think as much as it entertains, this is essential reading. Easily one of the best trilogies I’ve read in years.

The story is well woven. The ficted science is top-notch. The best part is that the story is true to itself and doesn't cut corners for cheap deus ex machina, even though you want to scream at Cheng Lin couple of times and don't really understand what she brings to the world really. But then what can a human being to galactic table other than humanity.

The author does a great job of imagining future physics in a way that no author has before. Furthermore, his take on what the future of global politics could potentially look like is also incredibly interesting. Seeing humans act like humans from an unimaginable new point of view and fictional future discoveries in physics is what makes this series so appealing.
