The triology, whose first book is the most recognizable "The Three Body Problem", is my absolute number #1 favorite most special and loved work of written word of all time. It's the most epic (as in grand scale epic), mindbending and imaginative story ever written, especially the climactic third book. The triology has been hailed by the world's most influential people like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg and Neil Gaiman.

Rememberance of Earth's Past dives extremely deep into humanity's and the universe's most crucial questions. And, for those fundamental questions, hard science is essential. This is why I believe powerful science fiction is just as important and relevant as classic philosophy in the discussion of these questions. Aristotle, Confucius, Nietzsche or the Buddha simply didn't possess scientific knowledge and understanding of the universe we have today. And philsophy without the intersection of science, in my mind, only paints half the picture.

It's futurism at it's finest, and I strongly believe many elements of this book are of predictive nature – just as Neal Stephenson predicted crypto, surveillance and the metaverse.

Seriously – I'm mad how averse the average person is to science-fiction. There's so much to be taught in good scifi. I place this on the same pedestal as anything from the likes of Dostoevski, Tom Sawyer or Shakespeare. Actually, I personally find the thought patterns and ideas discussed in these books more important than in any of the other literature just mentioned. Because it's about the fundamentals of the universe and very existence. Not so much intellectual abstractions or mere human nature. This is so much fucking deeper.
