I reviewed Cixin Liu’s “The Three Body Problem” awhile ago. For someone who is not from the East and did not grow up in China I found Cixin Liu’s book refreshing. His technical knowledge is far beyond mine, he is a computer engineer and more, but he explains the theories in a way most people can grasp.
In his second book of the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy he deals more with philosophy. The Dark Forest is technical but it suggests philosophies we as Earthlings really need to consider as we go to other planets and try to communicate with the rest of the galaxy. The major philosophical discovery made by the main character, Lou Ji, is terrifying!

Join me on a journey of discussing stories already written and ones you'll get to see develop first hand. Years ago I belonged to the Cambridge (Ontario) Writer's Collective and it made me a much better writer. So I hope my continued journey will intrigue you and maybe inspire you to take that first step into the unknown. Because that's where the excitement is!
