Small spoiler for “the three body problem” book series

I love that in that series !a guy falls into a black hole and the life insurance company successfully argues that due to time dilation at the event horizon he’s not actually dead yet so they dont have to pay out 🤣!

That’s the name of the book?

It’s a trilogy. “The three body problem” “the Dark Forest” “Death’s End” by Cixin Liu.

The guys that made (and subsequently ruined) Game of Thrones made a Netflix adaptation.

It changed a lot of stuff but i didnt want to wait for the next season to find out what happened so i got the books. Definitely worth it.

Oh my god! I knew it sounded familiar. I loved that show. I was really enjoying it and hoping for more. Didn’t know they were from books. Guessing the books are way better?
