> Need to read the Three body problem trilogy. It deals with this issue. Best Sci-Fi book ever.
I finally went through that one a couple of years back. Great science in there, but it had a depressing Chinese world view.
I found the chinese world view fascinating. It exposes more about how they think than they realized. Like when he said a political officer...the chinese don’t even realize that isn’t normal. And they allowed him to write about the massacre communists did to families when they took power along with their re-education camps.
To me I saw it as a great book with hard science in it. And it happened to be written by a chinese guy that had no real clue on how China is controlling info.
The only thing I didn’t like is the analogies. Apparently in China the only analogy they have is “It was like a dream”. Of they have a million ways to say it and in English we only have one.
