The Three-Body Problem

This book, out of all the sci-fi I've read, earns the title of being the most science fiction. At times, the strict adherence to scientific mock “accuracy” was cumbersome to get through, but I appreciated how it all tied together in the end.

My copy of the book was translated by Ken Liu, who did a phenomenal job adding footnotes with cultural and historical context. Without that, I'm not sure if I would've enjoyed the book as much as I had, since it's certainly aimed and intended for a Chinese audience.
