Framed #742 (nope*. What I did watch, having read Cixin Liu's (Liu Cixin) Three Body (Rememberence of Earth's Past) series, although not sure I've read Death's End, but most of it, was The Three Body Problem on Netflix. I only watched episode one and not because I don't want to see episode two, but because I enjoyed episode one so much I don't want to binge watch it. The Netflix Adaption is clearly a European adaption but most of those characters were in the book in slightly different ways and the majority of bits set in China happened in the book too. I won't disect it too much or spoiler it but I think it's a good show. I hope there is a Chinese adaption eventually, the Cultural Revolution bits were more harrowing in the book which was contrary to my expectations of Chinese science fiction because I expected those bits of history to be taboo. Maybe it's a prejudice on my part. There is some, minor, overlap with the Strugatsky brother's Definetly Maybe, an excellent bit of Soviet sci-fi (at least in the updated Neversink Library imprint I had**) and I wonder if Soviet sci-fi was translated to Chinese in the 1970s/1980s. I'll do wordall later and I'm looking for ward to episode 2 of the Three Body Problem. I'd recommend the book for a more China centric version (most sci-fi centers around an author's nation) if only because it's a good demonstration that despite cultural differences we have more in common as people than things that set us apart.)

** The newer editions of the Strugatsky brother oeuvre with the notes and additions are an interesting glimpse of Soviet publishing. It was mad. I think in some ways Definitely Maybe was as much a reflection of some of the problems with the USSR as science fiction.
