Synopsis

Set anywhere from the near future to two centuries ahead, this story follows humanity as it grapples with a civilization-ending threat. Earth has been locked down by the Trisolarans through their advanced technology called Sophons—basically a tool that prevents humans from making any new scientific breakthroughs. Despite this, humanity has no choice but to keep pushing forward and innovating if they want to survive the coming Trisolaran invasion. At its core, the story plays out like a cosmic game of survival between two civilizations. Both humans and Trisolarans are locked in a dark forest scenario—hidden, paranoid, and willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate the other before they can strike first. It's about the brutal calculus of interstellar warfare and the lengths each side will go to protect their own existence.
