Review

The Encyclopedia of Three-Body creates a great deal of new content within the framework of “The Three-Body Problem”, making the world more vivid and colorful. I hope that this process will continue to ultimately create a grand and fulfilling world of imagination.
-- Liu Cixin (the first Asian winner of Hugo Award, winner of the Galaxy Award for 9 times, author of “The Three-Body Problem)

“The Three-Body Problem” is a grand summation of human history, with hyper-moral and brutal decisions, the primacy of survival, and so on. The so-called chain of suspicion, the fatal strike, and the destruction can be the homage…The dismantling and presentation of these complex settings, in addition to the original, we can also take a look at this set of "The Encyclopedia of Three-Body", which pushes this experiment of imagination to the vast universe with the help of science fiction, so that readers can gain inspirations in the feast of thoughts!
--He Xi (the renowned science fiction writer, winner of Nebula Award and Galaxy Award)

In “The Encyclopedia of Three-Body”, we can feel Liu Cixin's amazing creativity in writing “The Three-Body Problem” and his own "science fiction aesthetics". This book demonstrates the grandeur and magnificence of the Three-Body universe, completes the last piece of the Three-Body world, and provides a set of "standards" for the derivation and re-creation of the Three-Body universe.
--Chen Qiufan (the famous science fiction writer, deputy director of the Science Fiction Committee of the Chinese Writers' Association, winner of the Nebula Award and the Galaxy Award)

The "Three-Body" is not just a novel, but a complete and grand universe. This universe contains everything that has happened and will happen, from the past to the future, and it offers the possibility of describing this universe from more perspectives. “The Three-Body Problem” presents the Three-Body Universe to us in a way that is different from that of a novel.
--Ji Shaoting (Founder and CEO of the Future Affairs Authority)
