What actually is the premise of Three Body Problem? I hear it’s good, but the synopsis and ads don’t really tell me what the hell it’s about. I’m afraid if I look harder I’ll end up spoiling shit.
This is mainly from my general recollection, so hopefully I didn’t get the details wrong.
The story follows two timelines. One just after the cultural revolution in China and the either in present day China. In the first timeline, through the zealousness of the cultural revolution a young woman is swept away to work for the communists at the edge of the country. A mixture of unfortunate and fortutious events quietly places her at an important crossroads for humanity.
In the present timeline, a number of prestigious scientists have committed suicide. This has raised the interest of an international body. They invite one particular scientist who unwraps the mystery of the scientists and the plot behind them. As he unravels more of the mystery, the story splices in relevant information from the first timeline showing how the seeds of the present day events were start forty years before.
Hopefully I didn’t reveal too much. Anymore would have.
