The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin (Part 1 of 2)

This week the dream team reads The Three-Body Problem, a book that asks the important question: What happens when you combine trauma and nihilism with intergalactic phone tag?

Sarah, Tommy, Rick, and Andrew nerd out over solar amplification, broken physics, space-age VR, and the dick-measuring contest that is billionaire space travel. This episode is truly a chaotic era.

And Rick finally asks the rest of the team a question that he’s been stewing over for the entire history of Pagenerd. It’s not what you think it is.

This one is big, weird, philosophical science fiction with ideas that will stick in your brain long after you finish it.

Come wander into the dark forest with us.
