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, 返回目录 下一页 上一页 外刊撷英 Wang gets into an online video game called “Three Body”.

How do you eq \a\vs4\al(coexist) with people who do not share your sense of reality, of the purpose of a society? The Lost Cause is presented② as a science fiction novel, but it reads more like a thought experiment. At a plot③ level, the novel follows high school eq \a\vs4\al(graduate) Brooks Palazzo as he navigates④ the world of Burbank, California, thirty years into the future. The effects of climate change are more eq \a\vs4\al(visible) in the United States by this time: weather patterns have changed, wildfires are rampant⑤ and unpredictable, and coastal cities across the country are at risk of being submerged⑥ due to the rising sea levels, all of which give rise to⑦ refugee⑧ populations moving across the country in search for more habitable places to live in. Brooks had a very real chance of being a complicated person stuck between two conflicting movements, questioning each of their claims and outcomes. Instead, we see a young man with a firm belief in his eq \a\vs4\al(ideal) —someone who, as a nineteen-year-old, has already considered every possible opposition⑬ to his arguments, and is sure that he would never change his mind, and neither would anyone else. Doubt, in the book, exists only fleetingly⑭， and is intended to underscore⑮ his commitments. This is not necessarily a bad thing. We do need people of steadfast⑯， unshakable idealism working to make the world a better place. I'd argue that this book's practical idealism is its greatest gift! This is a book of ideas, of real progressive and actionable ideas. The book shows us an eq \a\vs4\al(alternative) to the doom⑰ and gloom⑱ that often accompanies the machinations⑲ of politics for most people today. That's where the book shines: it imagines a future worth fighting for and provides a solution to nihilism⑳. $
