The Dark Forest (Chinese: 黑暗森林) is a 2008 science fiction novel by the Chinese writer Liu Cixin. It is the sequel to the Hugo Award-winning novel The Three-Body Problem in the trilogy titled Remembrance of Earth's Past, but Chinese readers generally refer to the series by the title of the first novel. The English version, translated by Joel Martinsen, was published in 2015. The novel's title comes from the dark forest hypothesis, coined by Liu in the novel, but described by astronomer and author David Brin as early as 1983, by Stanisław Lem in "The New Cosmogony" (from his book A Perfect Vacuum, 1971) as a possible solution to the Fermi paradox and by Greg Bear in 1987 in his novel The Forge of God.

Excellent. On par with Asimov.

5 étoiles

The second part is as good as the first one. A great combination of astrophysics, sociology, philosophy. Luckily I read Asimov's Foundations before Cixin books and I see there are alot of references and parallels with them. The translation to EN was better and more understandabla in the first part. I had big difficulties imagining characters. Maybe because of Chinese names, or because of their one-dimensionality.

Somehow unsatisfying

3 étoiles

I enjoy the ideas the author is playing around with, but I don’t enjoy the way he does it very much. It feels drawn out but somehow still feels like a few things have been left open. I lack the words to describe this any better.

But I like the story well enough to continue reading the series, but maybe not immediately after finishing this ;)
