 I just completed my first read of the book Three Body Problem, written by Cixin Liu, translated to English by Ken Liu.

Very entertaining scifi with philosophical considerations. There's also a great episodic video series made by Tencent available on Amazon. I recommend skipping the butchered Netflix version.

Next up in the series is The Dark Forest. Im excited to see where this saga goes.

For english language readers, here is an Amazon link for the set Im reading through: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250254493

 I really love the entire series. 
 It gets progressively tripier, is all I can say. 
 The first book was such a good series of thought experiments and solutions, showing various positive and negative stances and desires by mankind. The way people latch onto beliefs, give up or take on a different perspective. I havent read scifi this thought provoking since works like the Time Machine and Ender's Game. 
 I'll give it a go
