Overview
This paperback box set brings together Cixin Liu's complete Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy: The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End. Beginning with a first-contact mystery rooted in Chinese history and hard astrophysics, the series expands into a centuries-spanning saga of interstellar strategy, cosmic sociology, and the fate of humanity itself. Translated into English by Ken Liu and Joel Martinsen, this internationally acclaimed trilogy is a landmark of modern science fiction, now collected in one giftable, keepsake-worthy paperback set that's ideal for new readers and longtime fans of ambitious, idea-driven speculative fiction alike.
About the Books
The Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy opens with The Three-Body Problem, in which physicist Ye Wenjie's traumatic past during China's Cultural Revolution sets off a chain of events leading to contact with the Trisolaran civilization, an alien species facing extinction on a planet orbiting three suns. This blend of hard science and historical trauma earned the novel the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2015, the first translated novel ever to win the honor. The Dark Forest continues the story as humanity braces for a Trisolaran invasion centuries in the future, introducing the "dark forest" theory of cosmic sociology, which reframes first contact as a deadly game of silence and deterrence between civilizations. The trilogy concludes with Death's End, widening the scope across millennia and weaving together love, sacrifice, and civilizational collapse as humanity confronts forces beyond its control. Across all three volumes, Cixin Liu builds an ambitious hard-science-fiction universe grounded in physics, game theory, and sociology, while never losing sight of deeply human stakes. Fans of expansive space opera and morally complex speculative fiction will find this trilogy essential, and this box set offers the most convenient way to read the entire arc in order.
