The Three-Body Problem
by Cixin Liu
Cixin Liu's Hugo-winning The Three-Body Problem opens during China's Cultural Revolution and ends staring down an alien invasion four centuries away. It's first-contact science fiction built on real physics and cold game theory, the rare novel where the biggest jolts come from ideas rather than action.
