Que peuvent nous envier les fourmis ? L'humour, l'amour, l'art. Que peuvent leur envier les hommes ? L'harmonie avec la nature, l'absence de peur, la communication absolue. Après des millénaires d'ignorance, les deux civilisations les plus évoluées de la planète vont-elles enfin pouvoir se rencontrer et se comprendre ? Sans se connaître, Julie Pinson, une étudiante rebelle, et 103e, une fourmi exploratrice, vont essayer de faire la révolution dans leur monde respectif.

This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking listeners to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion - in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy.

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Zack Lightman has never much cared for reality. He vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies, books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And too often, he catches himself wishing that some fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure.
