You know what, this makes a good point. The only people who will be truly more fucked then they are right now when the alien apocalypse comes is the 1% because now they are just a bunch of powerless slaves
“We’ll take your women to bare our children”
“The volunteers are lining up already”
Im waiting for the time when aliens enslave us under worst conditions and 90% of humanity will be better off than before.
Alien: we will poison your oceans with synthetic micro particles
Human: got that too.
Alien: that it’s, time for the big stuff. We will create elaborate torture schedules that give you soul crushing tasks while slowly making all good things in your life worse as we condition you that it’s all your fault.
Human: oh boy, you should probably sit down for this…
Alien: fine! it sure would be a shame if something happened to these lovely polar ice caps…we shall slowly but surely shift your planet’s entire climate, until eventually you will boil like lobsters and the oceans rise!
Been there, done that
“Dammit. Okay. We’ll divide you up into arbitrary subgroups, spread lies amongst those groups, and have you fight amongst yourselves rather than unify!”
Basically the plot of 3 Body Problem
I’ve only read the first book and wow it was dumb. I felt duped.
A civilization capable of building colony ships that can reach 1% speed of light and proton sized supercomputers were just sitting around waiting for a signal? Why haven’t these mofos built those ships already to reach a nearest star already? Just park those ships in Goldilocks’ zone and then start searching for other suitable planet to colonize or terraform.
Not to mention life on their planet gets wiped out constantly and yet intelligent life capable of spaceflight evolved there? Sorry, can’t buy it at all.
Just a jenga of unbelievable premises.
Agreed 100%. Be thankful you didn’t read the 2nd book. So ridiculously silly and predictable. To the point of absurdity.
I love sci-fi. Cool unique ideas, terrible execution. These books are so overrated.
This is better if you read the “me” parts in the voice of Tom Servo (as pictured), and the alien parts in the voice of Dr. Forrester.
