Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu

Here are some random thoughts, that probably make more sense if you've already read this book:
-- I thought it was very interesting to see the dystopic cultural revolution through the eye's of a present day Chinese author.
--It was never really explained why scientists were committing suicide.
--Why didn't Shi arrest Pan at the first Three-Body game meet-up, for the murder of Shen?
--Why wasnt math prodigy Wei's outside-the-box solution of the three body problem ever tested? It seemed to become immaterial and just fell by the wayside of the story.
--The Three-Body game was full of self inconsistencies, but then, of course, it was just a game.
--Ye had a fever dream about three suns before she knew anything about Trisolaris and before the three-body game.
--The end of the book, the dimensional unfolding of protons by the Trisolarians, was just too bizarre.
