Sequel to The Dark Forest. Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of the Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay.

Bold outlook for a distant future

Death's End is a great end to an exciting trilogy. The Trisolaris series is rightly regarded as one of the best science fiction stories of the early 21st century. A core story that spans a few centuries and an ending that ventures a glimpse into a future thousands of years away was extremely interesting and, as usual from the author, incorporated many ideas and insights from disciplines such as physics and sociology. The main weakness of the series was the sometimes rather weak characters, who were sometimes less believable and unusually distant, but this was perhaps necessary for the role they played in the story.

Bello. Pesante in più sensi (e dimensioni). Geniale.

Ho finalmente finito la trilogia dei Tre corpi con questo "Nella quarta dimensione".

Due note generali sulla serie: ottima traduzione, ma pessima scelta dei titoli (avrei tradotto il secondo come "La selva oscura" e il terzo come "La fine della morte"). Criminale la scelta delle quarte di copertina. Evitatele.

Questo terzo libro è come i due che lo precedono, ma con un climax finale ancora più potente.

In alcuni momenti la scrittura risulta un po' lenta e pesante, ma tutto serve per gettare delle basi narrative.

Una trama imprevedibile fino alla fine, frutto di un'immaginazione poderosa, con un gusto fortemente esistenziale.

Mi ci vorrà del tempo per riordinare le idee su questa trilogia. Di sicuro è un capolavoro di immaginazione, nonché qualcosa di fortemente diverso, sia nella sensibilità (si vede che l'autore non è occidentale), sia nelle tematiche.

This was my favorite of the trilogy

In a lot of ways, i think this book could stand alone instead of being book three. It kind of starts the timeline over in the near future instead of picking up where the other books left off. With hibernation we are able to mostly follow a single person through the book, and that makes it feel coherent in a new way. It’s about the relationship with the larger universe much more than it’s about the Trisolarans. I’m glad we read these
