I loved the books because:

1. It's old school high concept scifi where protagonists are smart like scientists.

2. It's alien in two levels. First story, secondly the writing and style has many aspects of Chinese culture that seems alien western reader. Really refreshing.

ps. Chinese already made 3 body problem into long tv-series. It's really slow burn and follows the plot quite close. The ship cutting scene was well done.

Thanks for the tip about the original Chinese version. I'd be more interested in that with subtitles than in the Americanized Netflix version. Half the point of reading 3BP is to escape The Culture for a bit.
