[QUOTE="Sif, post: 77462728, member: 382195"] I am finishing the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy. ([U]The Three Body Problem[/U], [U]The Dark Forest[/U], and [U]Death's End[/U]) by Cixin Liu. It is a hard science fiction story. Earth discovers intelligent alien life near Alpha Centauri, however, the aliens (called Trisolarans) begin an invasion and intend to exterminate Humanity. Humans discover that the Universe is a 'Dark Forest' (one of the answers to the Fermi Paradox) and all life is hostile to each other. With that knowledge Humanity uses a 'Mutual Assured Destruction' (MAD) strategy to prevent the Trisolarans from coming to Earth, but in the long run it only assures the destruction of both species by a more advanced intelligent civilization. A fourth book was written by Baoshu, [U]The Redemption of Time[/U]. I haven't read the full book but there is an interesting exploration of the origins of the Universe that I think may have been inspired, at least in part, by the Book of Genesis. At the beginning of time the Universe is perfect, it is 10-dimensions and composed completely of light an was created by an entity called 'The Master'. However, another entity called 'The Lurker' seeks something else and as a result brings in imperfection and darkness along with conflict and 'The Dark Forest'. [/QUOTE]
