Is een leuk boek. Leest ook wel lekker weg. #CixinLiu #LiuCixin #TheThreeBodyProblem

So, I read the three "Three Body Problem" books (there's probably a word for three consecutive linked works of art ... Matrix Resurrections).

The last book is definitely the best for story and storytelling (and the translator deserves an honourable mention (but I won't)).

However, I'm going to recommend that if you are not sure that it's worth reading any of them then you should read the very last part of the third book "Death's End". It's short-story-essay length. Doing that won't spoil your enjoyment of the series but it may even make you smile.

#RonaldoLemos e a "floresta escura da internet"

"Nas palavras de #BognaKonior: "A internet é uma invasão alienígena, onde o desejo de se exibir, externalizar e se expressar nos conduz como uma força exterior."

Nos livros de #LiuCixin, a humanidade entra em guerra com uma civilização alienígena. Nossa única vantagem contra essa civilização mais avançada é a capacidade de pensar em silêncio.

O mundo em que estamos entrando inverte tudo. Precisamos exigir transparência das máquinas, para que falem tudo, enquanto para as pessoas, calar-se é uma posição de segurança. O #monasticismo como estratégia de sobrevivência."

Opinião - Ronaldo Lemos: A floresta escura da internet

Para filósofa Bogna Konior, a IA nos expõe a alienígenas; o melhor é ficar quieto

Last year I setup a little #blog (with #bearblog) to detail my 2024 #reading journey. I've just wrapped a post for 2025, doing the same.
I've spent my time in #jrrtolkien 's #middleearth for the first time. Inside the scifi worlds concocted by #AdrianTchaikovsky. Being haunted by #LiuCixin 's work and delving into some comfort titles with #sherrythomas ' Lady Sherlock series.
Give it a read, let me know if any of the titles resonate with you!

I did one of these last year after being unimpressed with any service's "wrap up" summary. Consequently, it also led me to discover bearblog... and while...

You mean the #DarkForest idea postulated by Chinese novelist #LiuCixin over a decade ago???

Russian physicist Alexander Berezin, from the National Research University of Electronic Technology (MIET), has another idea. He calls it the “First in, last out” solution of the Fermi Paradox. He suggests that once a civilization reaches the capability of spreading across the stars, it will inevitably wipe out all other civilizations. https://www.iflscience.com/physicist-has-a-new-solution-for-the-fermi-paradox-and-its-pretty-worrying-47961
