Death's End

"The Three-Body Problem, the first installment of Chinese author Cixin Liu’s Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy, won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2015. Death’s End is the series finale; “grand” doesn’t do it justice. A tale of contact with an alien species that radically transforms our understanding of ourselves, our world and the laws of physics themselves, the novel sprawls across a jaw-dropping backdrop that encompasses universes and eons — a meditation on technology, progress, morality, extinction and knowledge that doubles as a cosmos-in-the-balance thriller."

"The Three-Body trilogy makes insignificance and unknowability and futility seem so spiritually exciting that I felt breathless. I'd join a book club that just discusses it every month for a year."
