Contemporary Chinese Sci-Fi Discussion: The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin

A long episode this week as we explore how The Three-Body Problem fits into our contemporary political, literary and philosophical landscape.  Who are the heroes and villains in this novel?  What do the Trisolarans represent?  And how much stock should we put into the controversial public comments of the author?   This is the first novel in our Contemporary Chinese Sci-Fi series.
