He now understood that the Wallfacers had a mission far weirder than any in history, its logic cold and twisted, yet unyielding as the chains that bound Prometheus. It was an unliftable curse impossible for the Wallfacers to break under their own strength.

One consequence of nuclear technology was that it allowed a country of just a few million people to pose a substantial threat to one with a hundred million, something that at one time had been practically impossible.

Even on the third read-through I discovered (or re-discovered) new aspects and details. Still one of the most amazing books for me. Unputdownable

@escamoteur@social.tchncs.de yes, read that and also the second part "Children of ruin". Also very good books. But the Three Body Problem takes the crown for me. For having the guts to think through mankinds history to the end of time.

Given I'm a very slow reader and managed to get through all three books once in the last two years is saying something ;)
