Cup Runneth Over posted:Just read the plot summaries of the Three Body Problem trilogy. god drat that's some bleak stuff. and I read the climate thread. one must imagine Sisyphus happy It's so much a better read. The author has an amazing way of making you believe it's possible to overcome the obstacle and then slitting your throat. Series ends on a positive note of rebirth IMO which I personally very much enjoyed

It's good and interesting but oof I wish he was a better writer (I am aware it is a translation but apparently it's bad in the original too). Couldn't get very far in the second because of that. Maybe the TV show will be good.

I definitely agree that the author has Frank Herbert disease where his command of prose is not equal to the ideas he is trying to put down. But like Dune I couldn't put them down once I started

Maybe the TV show will be good. I liked it. Didn't think it had bad prose. I did raise my eyebrow at a few of the scientific concepts, like trying to use a genetic algorithm to solve the three body problem, but the narrative was good.

I wouldn't call the prose outright bad, it just had a very distinctive and extremely goofy quality that felt like it was communicating a lot about the author's personality and worldview much more directly than is typical in fiction. Little bit of a bummer that the only really interesting characters are dead by the end of the first book but I thought it was all worth the read anyway.

So, between COVID and SARS, China hid 40 megatons of dead people. A trifle, really, easy to dispose of.

How did sars kill hundreds of millions of Chinese people without spreading to other countries and killing comparable numbers? The explanation for everyone in china dying of covid while the pandemic is over in the west is usually something to do with vaccines and antivirals made by Superior Western Science but there was never anything comparable during sars.

The scariest story of SARS is IMO when they had an outbreak in that Taiwanese hospital and they promptly sealed off all the entrances and told the hospital staff take one for the It's exactly the plot from those Hollywood virus movies.
