Listener
Listener is a term from the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, tied to the radio and signal imagery that runs through Liu Cixin's series from the antenna of Red Coast Base onward.
Listener is a term from Liu Cixin's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, which begins with The Three-Body Problem. The trilogy's early chapters are steeped in the imagery of listening: the story opens in the China of the Cultural Revolution and follows the young astrophysicist Ye Wenjie, whose path leads to Red Coast Base, a secret military installation crowned by an enormous antenna, while decades on, the nanomaterials researcher Wang Miao is drawn into the virtual reality game Three Body as scientists die mysteriously around him. Radio and signal imagery runs through the whole series.
