One possible version： The science fiction I like most is The Three-Body Problem which gives me surprises and excitement. The novel, written by Chinese author Liu Cixin, follows the story of Ye Wenjie and Wang Miao, two scientists in the very near future. Ye, whose father was an astrophysicist, joins a secret project to contact aliens. Meanwhile, Wang gets into an online video game called “Three Body”. It is about aliens who are trying to deal with life on a planet with three suns. But Wang discovers the game is more than it seems—it is a danger not only to humans but also to our understanding of physics.
