The first thing I thought too, when I read this. "Trisolaris" is a reference to an amazing sci-fi novel, "Three Body Problem" which I would highly recommend (it originally came out in Mandarin, but it has a great translation): https://www.amazon.com/Three-Body-Problem-Cixin-Liu/dp/07653...

I highly recommend this book, it was amazing. A challenging read, requiring a tiny bit of knowledge, but worth it. It reminded me a smidgen of a Russian novel, where the story of someone's background and family and motivation is crucial, and you need to go a few generations back to really understand someone.

If you like SciFi, a relevant trilogy that I would highly recommend is The Three Body Problem/The Dark Forest/Death's End by Cixin Liu:

Check out Cixin Liu! His style is quite different, but I'm sure that you won't be disappointed.

Three Body by Cixin Liu. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765377063

Alien, cult, virtual reality propaganda in a communist regime. A fascinating and entertaining book!

The Three-body Problem. It raises the bar of sci-fi literature in China.

Seconded! This is a fantastic book. Be warned: the English translation of the sequel is not yet released (and you will want it).
