Liu Cixin’s The Three‑Body Problem trilogy is hailed as a modern sci‑fi masterpiece, and the recent Netflix series has broadened its audience. The Folio Society now offers the ultimate collector’s edition, binding all three volumes in a single, sumptuous volume.
The set compiles The Three‑Body Problem, The Dark Forest and Death’s End, and includes a brand‑new English introduction from the author that has never been published before.
Illustrator Matt Griffin contributes 15 vivid colour plates, three of which span two pages, plus three black‑and‑white title‑page spreads—one for each novel. The artwork showcases real three‑body simulations created with MIT software, used under special permission.
Physically, the book is bound in printed cloth with a holographic‑blocked cloth clamshell, copper‑holographic lining, Sirio Color Dark Blue endpapers, a ribbon marker, printed edges, and a specially designed box. Blocked lettering by Steve O’Connell adds a tactile finish.
