1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind. Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredicatable interaction of its three suns. This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.

Juin 1947, désert du Nouveau-Mexique. William Bazel, qui exploite un ranch situé au nord-ouest de la ville de Roswell, trouve dans un champ une masse de débris. Soucoupe volante ou simple ballon-sonde ? Soulevée dès l'Antiquité, la question de l'existence d'une vie extraterrestre nourrit bien des conjectures. Dans les cercles savants, elle fait l'objet de débats passionnés. Dans la culture populaire, des voyageurs de l'espace visitent régulièrement la Terre. Théologie, science, ufologie ... Autant d'approches qui vont de l'astrobiologie au complotisme le plus débridé, sans oublier la science-fiction. Depuis 2017 et la diffusion d'étonnantes images d'ovnis par le Pentagone, l'idée d'une possible rencontre avec des civilisations non humaines se répand, en particulier dans les médias américains. Que se passerait-il si le contact était établi ? Sans bien sûr apporter de réponses définitives, Estiva Reus et Renan Larue montrent plutôt que la figure nécessairement fantasmée de l'extraterrestre en dit long sur nous-mêmes, sur nos craintes et nos espoirs.
