The Three-Body Problem, Cixin Liu

The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, translated by Ken Liu, and read by Luke Daniels came to my attention on a top 100 list.  This is the first science fiction book I've read by a Chinese author and I am curious to see if there are cultural influences.

Review:

The cultural differences were there as expected.  In the meantime, however, this was a great science fiction read.  It looks at both the issue of a planet in the Alpha Centauri system and addresses the idea of humans interacting with aliens.  Cool concepts and an oddly dystopian way of looking at potential first contact.
