Explored existential topics in a way I've never encountered anywhere else.
The "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy (Three Body Problem) pretty much ruined all other sci-fi for me.
But the ideas and some of the images stand out more than dozens of other books I've read over the time period.
It explores many facets of human nature and humanity. Must read.
It's a page-turning space opera thriller I can highly recommend.
