From what I understand, Three Body Problem is a Sci-Fi AU of the cultural revolution. I tried reading it but couldn't make it past the first chapter because the novel gave zero world building at the go and just kind of threw the reader into it. I'm sure it does a bit more explaining later, but I needed just a little bit more set up before getting thrown headfirst into a bunch of jargon. Am planning to try it again at a later time.
I know the novel won tons of awards, but given the media censorship, I'm very skeptical about the adaptation.
