Right now reading "The three body problem" by Liu Cixin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Th...Problem_(novel) and it is from 2008!
Beginning with the Cultural revolution and Mao this is a very critical book, and then it easily swings into a full blown Science fiction novel. It helps to have a little(!) background in natural science, details are explained in the appendix though.
Took a long time to get through to the west. Seems China is a it more advanced than "we" thought, but whatever it is an interesting read
First of three books of the "remembrance of earth's past", film being shot in 2016 will be shown in 2017 or so i read.
