The third book of the three body problem trilogy is such a ride, I could barely put it down - it is impossibly, infinitely ambitious, but through its scope, vision, poetry, and cunning, it lives up to way more of that ambition than one would think possible.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
