This is the second book in the trilogy of Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem and a must read if you've read the first one and really pointless to pick up if you haven't.
This book picks up where the first one leaves off with a certain overlap in characters but that's not the anchor for the story. Whereas the first story just touches on the topic, this book has a much larger focus on the existential crisis of humans where we there's a inevitable and looming threat to our existence. There's a lot of great scientific breakthroughs and evolutionary concepts that this book gets into that is very different and fun to get into but then the book also touches on some very dark subjects that do get very disturbing.
I recommend this book to anybody who decides to get into the trilogy as this book is a great 2nd part and even though it starts off slowly it gets into some very interesting mix of futuristic action scenes and disturbing evolution of humanity in a crowded universe.
