Lise AndreasenI am reading my way through #the_three_body_problem trilogy, and I have to change my reading strategy. I can't differentiate between characters by their names. So I have to remember the circumstances. These people are related to space force and have a lot of meetings. This is a wallfacer. Etc.
Elizabeth Tai | ę“ē§é š²š¾A long read about Three Body adaptations and the original work but worth it.
Anna made me realise something. One reason why the Netflix version failed (for me and those who enjoyed the original work) was that they didn't take the opportunity to use the same framework and create a commentary on US/European society.
I would've really loved to watch that!!
Instead, we got a clumsy photostat of the original, which fed into the current geopolitical commentary about China....which loses the point of the original story to begin with.
