In Liu Cixin’s opening novel of the *Three‑Body* trilogy, a top‑secret Chinese military initiative transmits signals into space amid the Cultural Revolution. The intercepted broadcasts reach a dying alien civilization, which launches plans to seize Earth. The novel follows the resulting ideological split on our planet—some factions advocate welcoming the technologically superior visitors to cleanse a corrupt world, while others rally to repel the invasion. The story intertwines scientific speculation with human political drama, making it a landmark in contemporary Chinese science fiction.
