The Three-Body Problem all the way.

Agreed. 5 years ago in this thread I wrote about Red Rising:

For a light weight page turner it's very good, and that is fine.

And I decided not to go any further, there are more interesting things to read. I finally got around to Three Body and am early into Death's End. I'm very impressed. It's the best fairly recent sci-fi I've read in a long time. I like the hard science (same reason I like Neal Stephenson) and the author takes it to interesting and unexpected places. It's not perfect, there are some things that I consider to be fairly large plot holes and sometimes the twist in the book has been obvious for a while. But overall it's still very good and thought provoking, and having the perspective of a Chinese author is interesting.
