Book SynopsisIn a world wrecked by climate change, in a society owned by the ultra-rich, in a city hollowed out by industrial flight, Hubert, Etc, Seth and Natalie have nowhere else to be and nothing better to do. But there is another way. After all, now that anyone can design and print the basic necessities of life – food, clothing, shelter – from a computer, there is little reason to toil within the system. So, like thousands of others in the mid-21st century, the three of them turn their back on the world of rules, jobs, the morning commute and... walkaway. It's a dangerous world out there, the empty lands are lawless, hiding predators – animal and human alike. Still, when the initial pioneer walkaways flourish, the thousands become hundreds of thousands, building what threatens to become a post-scarcity utopia. But then the walkaways discover the one thing the ultra-rich have never been able to buy: how to beat death. And now it's war – a war that will turn the world upside down.Trade ReviewThe tech may be more advanced, but the politics feel familiar...

Book SynopsisThe Hugo-nominated, astounding 10-volume, 1,924-page graphic novel adaptation of Cixin Liu's international bestseller THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM.An investigation into a spate of apparent suicides amongst the world's top scientists leads to a mysterious online game set in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns. This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists'' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.First published in China in 2008., The Three-Body Problem is the 21st Century''s greatest work of science fiction. It was translated in English in 2014 and won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2015. It has since been translated into 32 languages and has sold millions of copies all over the world.The Three-Body Problem was originally published as a novel, but while I was writing it, I began to suspect that words weren't necessarily the best way of telling a science fiction story. When we use words to describe the world, we rely on shared memories of reality to conjure a picture in the reader's mind. But in the realms of science fiction, where there are many things that have never appeared in the real world, words alone are not always enough to accurately, or vividly, transmit the author's imagination. A decade after its original publication, Three-Body gains new life in these pages. I am now convinced that the graphic novel provides the broadest possible canvas for science fiction. Regardless of whether you have read the original or not, this version of The Three-Body Problem will be a brand new reading experience for you. - CIXIN LIU, 2024This special edition includes Three-Body archive material: including: transcript of Ye Wenjie interview by the Beijing PSB Criminal Investigation Detachment; an abstract of Ye Wenjie''s paper in Astrophysics Review; partially decrypted files sized from ETO, and much more.
