How would you fight the trisolarans?

>I need to read that, and I now trust the opinion of random fags on Jow Forums much more than the opinion of I-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine award judges.
the only problem with those books is that you'll be depressed after reading them.... since you'll realize it'll be a long time before you read something else that good.
second book blew my mind. it was masterful. the guy who wrote is truly a genius. just when you think there's now way for his characters to escape something, he finds a way.
beginning of the first book was boring to me but rest is amazing. make sure you don't give up early.

Oof. I really like Weir's work, but that's kinda rough. He should stick to fictional space missions like Stephen Baxter's Voyage.

Just got them, had to dig a bit hard online to get them but I got them alright.
That looks like an unedited draft submitted by a daft blond in her first year of College.

Mass produce strong interaction material immediately. Everything else is second priority.

Encase a few of my gravitational wave antennae within strong-interaction armor as a fuck you against those droplets.

Engage in counter-propaganda to soften up Trisolaran society with gay porn so to raise their internal dissent.

DO NOT ELECT THE WOMAN for Swordholder duty.

Pffft
Who fucking cares for the Trisolarans? They are literally 12yo when humanity are babbies.

That's part of the first chapter. It gets so, so much worse, specially with muh strong women.

I glared at the condom. It looked normal enough. “So it’s effective? You’re sure it won’t break or anything?”
“Oh, definitely. I’ve run it through a battery of tests. Stretching, pressure, friction, you name it.”
A disturbing thought popped into my head. “Wait. Have you used this one?”
“No, but it wouldn’t matter if I had. The cleaning process renders it sterile.”
“Are you kidd—” I stopped myself and took a breath. Then, as calmly as I could, I said, “It would matter, Svoboda. Maybe not biologically, but psychologically.”
He shrugged.
I deliberated for a moment, then finally said, “Okay, it’s a deal. But I’m not promising to run out and get laid.”
“Sure, sure,” he said. “Just…whenever the next time it comes up naturally, you know?”

I needed a drink. I stopped off at Hartnell’s, sat in my usual seat, and signaled Billy. Time to drown my misery in alcohol and testosterone. I’d have a few cheap beers, throw on something sexy, head to an Aldrin nightclub, and go home with a good-looking guy. Hey, I could even give Svoboda’s condom a trial run. Why not?
“All right, luv?” said Billy. “Try this batch. New formulation.”
He pushed a shot glass forward and grinned from ear to ear.
I eyed it suspiciously. “Billy, really, I just want a beer.”
“Give ’er a try. Just a sip and your first beer’s on the ’ouse.”
I spent a moment in deliberation, but decided a free beer was a free beer. I sipped the shot.

easy gg

This. Also holy fuck was that last sword holder unlikable in the extreme

Read The Expanse. Decent enough western Scifi. Not without its flaws but it's pretty Jow Forums-appropriate. Most mil-spec weapons in universe meant to be fired in null-g are effectively gyrojet (self propelled rounds) to reduce stabilization issues. Ships engage over thousands of km with long-range ordinance, use CIWS for missile defense and shredding boarding craft. The story is also decent. There's a SyFy channel show but it's terribly misrepresentative of the books as shows often are. Still, the show does have some great ship design and space battles.

Well, Wade was also not really a good candidate since he would have fucking pulled the trigger for far less.

Did humans learn how to build SIM?

They had all the chance in the world if they didnt fall for the lies of an alien race that biologically couldnt lie. Trisolaris actually shared their tech with them in the deterrence era and the sophon blockade was also lifted, so they had like 50 years time to mass-produce it. The book states that they could make it in small quantities because there was little political will for them to ramp up the production because they fell for the pacifistic attitute and the propaganda of the Trisolarans.

But that was the point. The trisolarans would've kept the peace with Wade. They knew he would've done his duty.

>fighting Singer

So, literally fighting against God?
Nope. You cant.

Women were a mistake.
It's like when I first read Seveneves after Adam Savage plugged it hard on that podcast I've since stopped watching. First part was absolutely riveting, then the second part was basically post-apoc xmen, except less flashy and the MC is a huge cunt with hormone-induced schizophrenia.
I have. I also watched the show until the bit where the Edge Gate became a thing and then I remembered why I had also stopped reading the books. Everyone is retarded and it's like watching fifteen people try to race through a corridor five-foot wide. They just keep tripping each other, over and over again. It's all so tiresome.

I cant fucking imagine what a war between Singer's race and another fucking galactic empire would look like.

Can you fucking imagine killing entire supercivilizations with weaponized fundamental phyiscs and mathematics? How does this shit even look like?

It got fucking stupid after the first book. One person damns humanity out of existence twice. That’s what we fucking get for giving women the vote.

>MC is a Strong lesbian muslim who doesn't need no man.(Not even kidding)
Andy Weir is such a massive cuck piece of shit.

Well, this was kind of the long term plan of the ayys as well.
They flooded earth with hippie-propaganda and claimed to be peace-loving admirers of human arts and culture etc. And in that age, the humans were already getting increasingly K-pop esque with how much welfare state and automatization and free energy they already gained through technologies.

Damn, that's a real shame. I loved the Martian. Dude should stick to what he's good at.

Oy vey.

>beginning of the first book was boring
Only boring if you don't have a deep hatred for commies, is what I'm finding.

This. I'm a chink hater but it got me interested in Chinese history and literature. And I also hate commies more than ever.

there's no commie ideology in his books. if anything, first book shows horrors of communism and 'cultural revolution'.

>if anything, first book shows horrors of communism and 'cultural revolution'.
Yes, that's what I'm saying, and why it's not boring.

My point exactly.

Liu Cixin isnt anti commie tho. He stated multiple times that democracy sucks and his books show it very well. The entire concept of popular vote is getting shat on over the course of the novels, and in the end some remnants of humanity ends up getting saved by a communist political officer and a homicidal one-armed CEO who is ready to sacrifice all humans that are weak.

Read Legionnaire from the galaxy's edge universe, first book. The entire series is literally shitting on the SJW commies and the ultra right.

Western sci-fi is not cucked, but the awards are.

He is anti commie and anti democracy. The subtext is that he is a God tier republist.

I made it about a quarter of the way through the second book, it just got too far out there to enjoy. First book was great, though.

>Coming from where I’m from I can’t enjoy a book glorying in the subjugation and manipulation of native people by a more technologically advanced colonial interloper. I’ve just started listening to this book and I am finding the point of view of these colonisers very unpleasant. Thank the gods I can return books on Audible. I really don’t like the idea of my money supporting authors who paint these tools of oppression as heroes.

>If the author showed some sympathy towards the indigenous beings of this planet it would be much better. But no. Our heroes motto is “KTF: Kill them first”. WTF is that?!

Kek the only ones shitting on the book is SJW's...

Nah, he is a fascist, if anything. Or rather traditional chinese pragmatist: Egalitarian society/communism for good times (free energy, free food, basic income, society focusses on art and poetry), hardcore technocratic fascism if your civilization is threatened (no free speech, food and shelter only for scientists/engineers/soldiers/essential people and the rest should die, STEM over everything else).

He makes a point that both things need to be in moderation. The Great Ravine which halved human population on earth and crumbled entire countries was because of excessive militarism and fascism, in that time the orbital ladder was built, but overall science stuck. The time afterwards saw a relaxed society with more egalitarian and humanist principles that boosted science but made humanity weak-willed and pacifistic.

In the book and despite showing the cultural revolution, he actually does not attack communism itself, but rabid ideologic fanaticism and anti-science sentiments of that time. Afterwards, he actually portrayed socialist egalitarian ideas and the lack of privacy as fairly positive for the continued survival of a civilization (starship-bound humanity)

Freedom is calling to all men who bend their will.

>he is a fascist
Not really, as he shits all over the rabid facists. He is clearly for the missile ground, as the extremes are what causes all of the problems in his books.

>Legionnaire from the galaxy's edge universe
>cover subtext is "The Universe is a Dumpster Fire
I like it.

>How would you fight the trisolarans?
You can't. Isolation policy was a mistake. Humanity should went to other planets.

Since this is now a "taking the bait" thread, porker was the victim of the sticker-on-the-optic thing, not the perpetrator, as far as I can tell.

>western sci-fi is cucked shit. I tried reading some of the Hugo Award winners from 2018/2017 and it's all feminazi shit. it's worse than Hollywood movies. totally unreadable.

Another books that needs an adaption badly, but will likely ruin it because it is inherently un-adaptable in the visual medium.

The SJW's Always Lie series was written by someone who used to be on the board for the Hugo Awards, and goes into depth about how the awards became nothing but a platform for SJW's to fap each other's cocks and artificially inflate the importance of their political allies' work.
Not sci-fi, because they are real-life accounts and social theory, but they're good reads in a "Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you" way

That assassination actually shouldnt have happened.
The absolute victory of the conservative nepotists in the Japanese government after the failure of the 60s counter culture revolution is what literally caused Japan's overall stagnation these days, alongside the Plaza Accord.
Sometimes, different voices are needed and even back in the day the Japanese commies werent the modern SJW we all know, but literally leftist neo-traditionalists larping as Samurai whose main cause was defending peasants from government and corporate land seizures.

/off topic

>back in the day the Japanese commies werent the modern SJW we all know, but literally leftist neo-traditionalists larping as Samurai whose main cause was defending peasants from government and corporate land seizures.
I've been paying attention long enough to know that that wonderfully moderate platform wouldn't survive their victory. But yes, let us get back on topic.

I have read that book, but the guy is otherwise kinda deranged and will fire cannonballs at EVERYONE, even those who are 100% of the same opinion as him, even those who went through the same deplatforming ordeal as him.

If you have to boil that book down as much as possible, the only thing you absolutely must remember is to never apologize to the thought police. Ever.

Thought you meant these niggas.

The same goes for the Forever War.

Writen by vox day. Thats literally like listening Kim ir Sen complaining about Japanese occupation. That is, he is technically not wrong, but he himself is just a different kind of ideology pushing shitbag thats no better than people he's complaining about.

I'll second Legionnaire and the Galaxy's Edge series as a whole. It's some great not-Star Wars with great characters, awesome battle scenes, and loads of shitting on politicians. The first book is pretty much Space Afghanistan but it branches out into bounty hunters, smugglers, and pirates in the second book.

>it's terribly misrepresentative of the books
I've read the books and saw the series, they hold extremely closely so I dunno wtf you are on about.

First book is Black hawk down, but in space.

The rest is Star Wars, but with balls. Yes, there is a C-3PO, but instead of being a useless faggot, he is an outlawed warbot that can kill entire companys before running out of ammo.

Is it the Three Body Problem series?

Yes

Attached: ThreeBodyTrilogy_web.jpg (1440x715, 342K)

yes.

btw, Dark Forest is one of the best explanations for Fermi Paradox.

This.
>tfw the Dark Forest is just a tiny part of how galactic society looks like to those too weak to fully face the lovecraftian cosmic horror that is the true face of the universe

The third book is my favorite. The scale and the utter depression is blowing everything away that I've read before.

source?

I don't think it's precisely the Fermin paradox but it does illustrate the concept of this universal realization that marks a before and after for every civilization

I agree. Seveneves would have been another great book by Stephenson but then there was the second part.
>Western sci-fi is not cucked, but the awards are.
Sorta the "alt-right's" fault for that. Not expecting the SJW's to use the tactics of the 2008-2011 Hugos was a long term mistake.

Just some concept fanart.

Attached: Death's+End58.jpg (1000x647, 181K)

The Hugos are are selected and voted on by members of WorldCon, and membership to WorldCon has no other restrictions besides buying a membership. Vox Day is simply salty that he couldn't play the game like everyon else because he's a dick, and throwing a fit that his open and stated attempt to manipulate the Hugo awards for his own personal benefit didn't work. His books aren't good either. For all the cliquish bullshit surrounding the Hugos, Vox Day couldn't win an award on merit to save his life.

Judging by what other people in this thread are saying, neither could the actual winners, which was the exact problem Vox Day was talking about, so I'm inclined to believe him over you.

A live Genie was detonated only once, in Operation Plumbbob on 19 July 1957.

Damn the writing was dry. Chinese grammatical construction doesn't translate easily. Besides, most of the characters were simply too nihilistic to seems plausible to me.
