    I started reading The Three-Body Problem - a science fiction novel written by the Chinese writer Liu Cixin. From the first sentences, from the first chapters, I understand that this is a masterpiece.

    Stanislaw Lem. I prefer his funnier stuff, like Star Diaries and The Cyberiad, but his hard sci fi like Solaris and Invincible is great too. Originally written in Polish, but the English translations are masterful. And then you'll know where the name Trurl derives from...
