That’s why so many scientists in Three Body Problem seem to be killing themselves, having faced similar revelations. The trouble with believing in science as an immutable understanding of the universe is that life and knowledge seem meaningless if those rules turn out to be fake. The introspective sci-fi story deals with Professor Wang Miao, an applied physicist working in nano-materials who starts seeing subtle things that defy scientific logic and reality. A full 17 years after its initial publication, Three Body Problem mania has swept China and soon, probably, the world, with animated, television, and upcoming film adaptations of the story being hot topics in that country’s popular culture landscape, with sequel books suggesting plenty more grist for the mill in the years to come.
