I found Cixin Liu's 'Death's End' gripping, but also disappointing. It's full of brilliant SF inventiveness, but it's politically/philosophically simplistic, and it has a bizarrely essentialist approach to gender.
The #Netflix adaptation of #TheThreeBodyProblem (#三体) (2024) is simply a summary of #Tencent's adaptation released in 2023, set in the UK + with a disturbing E05.
Oh, less appealing special effects too, and less impactful scenes and dialogues.
