Tap for spoiler

It was using a high power radio transmission through the corona of the sun to act as a lens to magnify the signal, essentially turning our sun into a lighthouse. The shit that happens in the third book is mind melting in comparison. Dimensional attacks (shifting your dimension downwards) from 3D to 2D, by a potentially multidimensional entity, ironically unrelated to the original antagonists, and thus confirming the Dark Forest Hypothesis.



It’s complex. Essentially our two systems were close enough to traverse with their technology and it was worth their while due to their systems instability.

The title “Three Body Problem” is referencing their systems three suns and their world’s unstable orbit.

It’s worth the read.



Within the Fermi Paradox is the Dark Forest Hypothesis, essentially: we can’t see other civilizations doing this, and the theory is that if they did they are wiped out immediately by other civilizations.

The Three Body Problem is a good novel exploring this.

It is akin to being invisible in a dangerous place and then turning on a flashlight and giving your position away to predators.


I’ve found I’m quite good at socializing despite being on the spectrum. It was not a natural thing and was quite studied.

Writing that helped immensely with understanding body language and social cues was actually a bit of a con artists book: How to make people like you in 30 seconds.

It gave great insight into what I had a hard time understanding on my own: the social fabric explained.

As someone who constantly learns and tries to apply that knowledge, having all the social cues laid out in a way to practice on just about anyone was very eye opening and freeing.



Instead of avoiding eye contact, focus on the bridge of their nose.

They can’t tell you aren’t looking them in the eye.



It is important to record the crimes of fascists so that they can be held accountable at the right time.
