Mårten Ericson asked this question about The Three-Body Problem (Remembrance of Earth’s Past, #1):
Is this Space opera or hard SF?

After laying a solid ground work in physics,astronomy, and philosophy, the book flips everything we believe about reality around. It makes us question how do we know what we know?

The strongest theme in the book is "What do we do when faced with an unsolvable problem?"

If I say more, I will spoil the book. So, my comrades, read! Read! Read!(less)
