■ 🕑 4. Remembrance of Earth's Past
│  Recently finished Liu Cixin's "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy
│  ( 3 body problem / dark forest / death's end) 
│  at a reading pace of 1 book per day. (~500 pages per book) 
│  
│  Read it blind! Good mysteries and world building!
│  Hard science fiction so not a lot of fantasy. 
│  
│  Characters are a bit shallow and it could have been cut a few hundred
│  pages shorter at no great loss. 
│  But it's a fun and easy read, if depressing.

    My biggest frustration with this series is that dimensional warping
    wasn't further explored despite its heavy exploitation by 
    the enemies of earth in the FIRST BOOK and hints about it were 
    teased in the second book , and it was ultimately the end of earth
    in the third book ... the in-universe explanation is probably that 
    humans weren't given enough time to master the technology and it 
    could be that exploring it further could have written the author into
    a corner, but as far as "what ifs" go, if humans were able to master
    dimensional warping it would have totally given them an out from 
    the end assigned unto them. As soon as it was mentioned in the first book
    I was waiting for it to be a force the author gave to humans and not
    seeing them being able to realize it left me a bit underwhelmed at the end.
