The first installment of Cixin Liu’s epic trilogy “Remembrance of Earth’s Past” takes its name from a famously unsolvable problem in orbital mechanics and that sets the tone for the heady, complex, hard science fiction of what’s to come. In episode 306, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they are just beginning their journey into this series with Part One and Part Two, appreciate Ken Liu’s translation, explore the Chinese Cultural Revolution through the character Ye Wenjie, witness the most ominous countdown of all time with Wang Miao, and wonder about the mechanics of what seems like a very important game.
Join them next week for their thoughts on the first four episodes of Dan Weiss and David Benioff’s Netflix adaptation!
