• The science of interstellar By Kip Thorne
• Dopamine Detox By Thibaut Meurisse - 12-May-2026
• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy By Douglas Adams - 15-Dec-2025 This is a quick funny read, i was hoping it would be more astonishing though considering the reviewes, but i may have read too many science finctions lately.
• The God delusion by Richard Dawkins (7 Dec 2025) The book is focused on islam and christianity mostly, overall an eye opener for the uninitiated. The author goes into great details about the argument between Theist and Atheist and leaves no good reason to be a theist by the time the book is done.
• The Three-Body Problem
  • The Three-Body Problem By Liu Cixin
  • The Dark Forest Vy Liu Cixin

  • Death’s End By Liu Cixin

    The book starts slow but builds up a whole new world. I had low expectation from this after the final conclusion of the previous book that seem to have concluded the story. But “Death’s End” defies expectations by thinking large, introducing new fascinating ideas and explaining them in detail.

    The book felt stretched in parts while describing the political environment of the day, this is a trait of this series that felt boring for someone interested in science and new ideas. Although the political and social explanation helped complete the understanding of the new world, which helped pushing through the parts i was not interested in.

    The conclusion for protagonist of this story almost felt unjust. She always felt undeserving to survive everything after making bad decisions for every situation she faced. This again seemed to be a trait of this series where the protagonist of other two books also felt undeserving for the most of the book but was able to turn the story around and redeem themselves.

    On the other hand the bad decisions add to the realism and force you to think how human intuition and right person at the right role is important even if you have all technology and tools in place.

    Finally RIP humanity !
