I think they will also air it on Netflix.

In 2007, Wang Miao – one of China's leading nanomaterials experts is enlisted by Shi Qiang, a detective who specializes in counterterrorism, in the case of strange apparent suicides in the scientific community. During the investigation, Wang Miao encounters a mysterious organization called the Frontiers of Science and proceeds to learn the truth behind how an alien world depicted in a popular video game connects with the apparent suicides and the fate of the world.

It's pretty good and faithful to the novels. It drags at some points in the beginning, but that makes sense later.
 
I recently read the trilogy and found it very thought provoking. The idea that chains of suspicion only apply because of great distances between different civilizations in the universe and the many years that it takes to send and receive communications is probably incorrect OSIT. The axioms of Cosmic Sociology along with the chains of suspicion and technological explosions of the dark forest could apply in an environment with rapid communication like our current earth civilization because, unlike the Trisolarians, people can be secretive and deceptive.

Along with current events, I moved From Yahweh to Zion to the top of my reading list and as I read it, and given the idea that the Zionists are very materialistic and don't like non-Zionists to own property, I can't help but see the connections between Zionism and the axioms of Cosmic Sociology as addressed in Three Body Problem.

  • Survival is the primary need of any civilization.
    Every civilization prioritizes its own survival above all else. This drives their actions and decisions in the universe.
  • Civilizations continuously grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains finite.
    Civilizations naturally seek to expand their influence and resources, but they are constrained by the limited availability of matter and energy in the universe.

These axioms lead to a decision tree, that I think reflects the Zionist or psychopathic mindset in regards to how to deal with other civilizations, or here on earth, other nations or races. The chains of suspicion will ultimately lead to a decision to destroy the other regardless of whether they are seen as benevolent or malevolent because a benevolent society can still have secret technological explosions and develop weapons for defence meaning that if the malevolent society is driven to continue to expand they will still need to destroy the benevolent society at some point.

No English subtitles even though it says English subs in description

That's odd because I'm watching it with English subtitles now. It only takes a little time before they first appear - i.e. just after the in-picture Chinese characters have vanished. So you have to be patient for a short while... :-P

Thank you ! I guess I was impatient.
 
Not to spoil the third book for anyone, but did anyone notice all the scientific inconsistencies in the third book? I mean if it you jump forward say 400 years because you are traveling near the speed of light and someone else travels roughly the same distance, they should have also jumped forward roughly the same number of years. They should not be able to tell you about all that had happend for the last 400 years because they would have missed them as well LMAO :). I could go on and on . . .

As to the game theory, others have pointed out that the rationale is flawed because they don't consider that all branches including the ones they did not explore also have really bad outcomes. So then you have to go back and re-evaluate things. You can't just cherry pick the tree.
