Watched the TenCent version and heard so much bad about Netflix that I saw only youtube clips.
The books are a work of genius. The author was a power plant engineer in China before he sold zillions.
Ionospheric plasma is not only . . .not relevant to about a thousand things, it has itself changed since my day. Finite element analysis of plasma volumes don’t yield the same numbers it used to. Almost certainly derives from daring to take data during some part of the 11 year solar cycle and not others (because it didn’t exist).
Those were the good old days.
TenCent’s version is about 90X better. They have over a billion people from which to select great actors and actresses, for reasons other than lip filler.
Dark Forest, Deaths End, and The Redemption of Time are also excellent and deserve a film or series each.
