In times when China was experiencing the aftermath of the brutal "Cultural Revolution," signals were sent into space as part of a secret military project to establish contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. One of the signals was picked up by a civilization on the brink of extinction, and now the aliens are preparing to invade Earth. Upon learning this, humanity is divided into those willing to surrender our flawed world to the control of a higher intelligence, and those who will fight against this invasion to the bitter end.
The brilliant science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" by the most popular Chinese writer Liu Cixin has gained wide international recognition and became the first translated book nominated for the most prestigious literary awards in the field of science fiction: the "Hugo," "Nebula," "Locus," "Prometheus," and others.
