The sequel to the global phenomenon – the Remembrance of Earth's Past series – from China's best sci-fi author
The long-hidden truth about a planned alien invasion, set to occur in four hundred years, has finally been revealed, and Earth is reeling from the shock. Although the traitors and collaborators have been scattered, the Trisolarans' subatomic spies, the sophons, are still active on Earth. There is no hiding from them, and through them, the enemy learns of humanity's most secret defence plans instantly. There is only one place the sophons cannot see – the human mind.
The United Nations therefore introduces the world to four individuals in whom it places its last, desperate hope: three respected thinkers, military leaders, and strategists, and one ordinary, second-rate sociologist. Luo Ji finds himself at the centre of global attention, with no idea why he has been chosen or what is expected of him. All he knows is that he is the only person on Earth the Trisolarans fear.
