Payed extra money for a hardcover copy to make sure that it would survive the testament of time and the first time I open the book pages are falling out and unattaching from the seam. So unfortunate. Review: Little other view on science fiction.

Payed extra money for a hardcover copy to make sure that it would survive the testament of time and the first time I open the book pages are falling out and unattaching from the seam. So unfortunate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***O on 31 July 2023* Little other view on science fiction. Something I'd recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***E on 13 July 2025* Dopo aver letto Il problema dei tre corpi, non vedevo l’ora di immergermi nel secondo capitolo della trilogia, e The Dark Forest non ha deluso le aspettative — anzi, le ha superate. Cixin Liu porta la narrazione a un nuovo livello, esplorando tematiche straordinarie come la psicologia collettiva, la strategia a lungo termine dell’umanità e l’inevitabile confronto con civiltà extraterrestri. Il concetto della "foresta oscura" è potente, originale e inquietante: una metafora perfetta per l’universo come luogo di pericolo e diffidenza assoluta. Il romanzo è più filosofico e riflessivo rispetto al primo, ma non mancano colpi di scena, momenti di pura tensione e idee brillanti. I personaggi sono ben costruiti e profondi. Lo stile di scrittura è sempre preciso e denso di contenuto. Richiede attenzione, ma viene ripagata con una visione affascinante e spiazzante della civiltà, del tempo e del cosmo. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Dark Forest (The Three-Body Problem Series, 2) - Death's End (The Three-Body Problem Series, 3) - The Three-Body Problem --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/253603234-the-dark-forest-remembrance-of-earths-past-2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/253603234-the-dark-forest-remembrance-of-earths-past-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
