Netflix’s adaptation of Liu Cixin’s hard sci-fi novel, from the creators of ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘True Blood’, is sentimentalised but easily digestible In a postscript to the 2014 English translation of his novel The Three-Body Problem, the Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin waxes lyrical about his love of science:I’ve always felt that the greatest and most beautiful stories in the history of humanity were not sung by wandering bards or written by playwrights and novelists, but told by science.
