Cixin Liu · 2014
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“Who's the greatest living Chinese novelist? Liu Cixing, author of The Three-Body Problem. If I try to read Mo Yan and I'm bored, he's the Nobel laureate, what am I missing?”
Why: It is praised as a rollicking good police drama with themes of strategic deception and effective integration of the cultural revolution.

“You read the Three-Body Paraleling too, right? I guess that's sort of tripping into older books now too, but that's a recent sci-fi which is incredibly good.”
Why: Incredibly good recent sci-fi.
