The Dark Forest

In The Dark Forest, the sequel to The Three-Body Problem, humanity prepares for an impending alien invasion from the Trisolarans. With scientific progress blocked by advanced surveillance technology, Earth turns to a desperate strategy: the Wallfacer Project, granting four individuals absolute freedom to devise secret defense plans.

Among them is Luo Ji, a quiet sociologist whose unexpected insight leads to the profound and unsettling Dark Forest Theory—a revelation that redefines humanity’s place in the universe.

A tense and philosophical sci-fi epic, The Dark Forest explores survival, silence, and the dangers of being seen in a hostile cosmos.
