Episode notes

There is a mapping between the cultural revolution and the earth trisolaran organization. We see it mostly through the eyes of this young scientist, Yewen G. Her father was a physics professor at a university. The Red Guard were these groups of young people whipped up by Mao to tear down existing structures.

Secret societies, extraterrestrial cultures, VR games, HARD SCIENCE- Liu Cixin's award-winning novel has it all. It's also set against the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution, grounding the story not only in science but in history as well.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
