All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. The ultimate resource for everything relating to The Dark Forest: (Remembrance of Earths Past, 2) by Liu Cixin. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. That being said, I found those books intolerable, it's a terribly written series wrapped around one cool idea and you can get the same exact value without suffering through the miserably poor characters and dialogue by just watching a YouTube video about the lore. This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. I'm pretty sure the dark forest thing was literally invented by the book Dark Forest in the 3 Body Problem trilogy. "Wildly imaginative." -President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy
