Clay Davis from The Wire describes the plot and main theme of The Three Body Problem

Ladies and gentlemen, let me give it to you straight, just like I do in the political arena. "The Three-Body Problem," written by Cixin Liu, it's a tale of intrigue and complexity that's got more layers than a fine Baltimore crab cake.

Plot? Well, my friends, it's about humans and aliens, and let me tell you, when you're dealing with beings from another world, you've got more problems than you can shake a campaign donation at. You've got scientists trying to decipher messages from outer space, conspiracies that run deeper than the pockets of some of my esteemed colleagues, and a virtual reality game that's as unpredictable as a city election.

But the real theme here, the heart of it all, is power. Power and control. Who's got it, who wants it, and what they're willing to do to get it. It's like the political landscape, my friends, where allegiances shift like the wind, and trust is a rare commodity.

So, if you're looking for a read that'll keep you on your toes, that'll make you question the motives of everyone involved, "The Three-Body Problem" is your ticket. It's a political drama of cosmic proportions, and in the end, it's all about who holds the power and who's willing to do whatever it takes to keep it. Sheeeeeeee-it!

I really thought this book was going somewhere and was a p good own at the chinamen and commie bastards as a whole but after the weird conference shit and the plot turning into “yeah aliens are real and are 100% absolutely going to kill us bc some foid did foid things and told said we all want to die” and no one did anything ever again about it except wander around and be depressed it was boring.

What was the point of “solving” the game ending up in being an incited to some commie Scientology meeting in the middle of nowhere in China? Why was everyone automatically brainwashed into thinking an alien invasion 10,000 years from now was totally real and cool and where did the three factions come from if this is the first time it happened?

The chinks invited the people who were good at the game to the conference then started to filter out anyone with a brain. The remaining ones, the misanthropes and rationalists, were convinced that joining the aliens was better for themselves/humanity was better off dead. Considering white liberals exist, do you really find it hard to believe that a significant chunk of Humanity could be convinced with minimal effort to work against their own survival?
