Now this epic trilogy concludes with Death's End. Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent.
Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the early twenty-first century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings with her knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the beginning of the Trisolar Crisis, and her very presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle?
Kenobit reviewed Nella quarta dimensione by Liu Cixin
Bello. Pesante in più sensi (e dimensioni). Geniale.
4 stars
Ho finalmente finito la trilogia dei Tre corpi con questo "Nella quarta dimensione".
Due note generali sulla serie: ottima traduzione, ma pessima scelta dei titoli (avrei tradotto il secondo come "La selva oscura" e il terzo come "La fine della morte"). Criminale la scelta delle quarte di copertina. Evitatele.
Questo terzo libro è come i due che lo precedono, ma con un climax finale ancora più potente.
In alcuni momenti la scrittura risulta un po' lenta e pesante, ma tutto serve per gettare delle basi narrative.
Una trama imprevedibile fino alla fine, frutto di un'immaginazione poderosa, con un gusto fortemente esistenziale.
Mi ci vorrà del tempo per riordinare le idee su questa trilogia. Di sicuro è un capolavoro di immaginazione, nonché qualcosa di fortemente diverso, sia nella sensibilità (si vede che l'autore non è occidentale), sia nelle tematiche.

Review of "Death's End (The Three-Body Problem)" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The sentiment on the internet has always been that this is one of the best science fiction books to read, with its fresh take on what can often times be a stale genre. The perspective is unique and has moments of revelation that feel surprisingly different from the traditional "investigation of self" that I typically get from science fiction, identifying moments of hope despite the fractures in civilization. Despite the intense shift towards the end, it leaves a lot to feel good about which I don't commonly leave hard sci-fi with.
