We're back...and yes I mean *we.* After a three-week hiatus, Joss has returned to the program. And we're talking Liu Cixin's hard sci-fi puzzle-box, "The Three Body Problem."
How did this distinctly Chinese work of fiction manage to capture the hearts of so many in the West? What do the Chinese Cultural Revolution and gravitational currents have in common? Can we use science fiction to prevent nuclear war? All these questions and more...answered!
As a side note: The Cultural Revolution of China is a complicated chapter in history that takes a lot more deciphering than we're capable of conducting in a couple sci-fi centric episodes, so we wanted to link this source from the Liberation School for those who may want to learn more. https://www.liberationschool.org/tag/cultural-revolution/
Music by Kevin MacLeod, art is the cover of the English edition of "The Three Body Problem."
