The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu

What a beautiful novel. Reading this makes me dream bigger, love harder, and think more critically.

Whenever I recommend the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, I always say that Cixin Liu writes with:

- so many SciFi details that he you would believe he was a PhD in Physics

- so much complex game theory strategies that you'd believe he was a 5 star General  (the game theory in the book is absurd)

- so much authenticity, creating such heart-felt characters that you'd believe he had daily tea with romantic poets

Liu puts the reader through a rollercoaster of philosophy and morality through masterful world building. He's perfected the concept of [[Reflective equilibrium]] ( (it's how we identify and resolve logical inconsistencies in our prevailing ideas), both for science and morality.

I would write more about the parts that amazed me, but then I'd ruin it for my friends who haven't read it (@wyatt). Hopefully one day I'll update this post, but then maybe I'd have forgotten by then.
