The Dark Forest (The Three-Body Problem Series Book 2)

The Three-Body Problem series by Cixin Liu, the inspiration for Netflix’s 3 Body Problem, has sold over one million copies in North America. Praised by outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and TIME, and by figures like Barack Obama and George R. R. Martin, the series is celebrated as a groundbreaking and mind-expanding work of science fiction.

The Dark Forest, the second book in the Hugo Award–winning trilogy, follows Earth’s struggle to prepare for an alien invasion set to arrive in four centuries. With all human information exposed to the Trisolarans through their sophons, only human thoughts remain hidden. To exploit this, the Wallfacer Project appoints four men to secretly devise defense strategies. Among them is Luo Ji, an unremarkable Chinese astronomer who unexpectedly becomes the most crucial—and most targeted—figure in humanity’s survival.
