The first thing I thought too, when I read this. "Trisolaris" is a reference to an amazing sci-fi novel, "Three Body Problem" which I would highly recommend (it originally came out in Mandarin, but it has a great translation): https://www.amazon.com/Three-Body-Problem-Cixin-Liu/dp/07653...

I highly recommend this book, it was amazing. A challenging read, requiring a tiny bit of knowledge, but worth it. It reminded me a smidgen of a Russian novel, where the story of someone's background and family and motivation is crucial, and you need to go a few generations back to really understand someone.

My thoughts too. I highly anticipate the English translation of Death's End, the 3rd volume of the trilogy, to be released on 20 Sept.

For those that don't recognise this, it's an ASCII quote based on an animation/scene from a Futurama episode entitled "My Three Suns"

The planet in this episode is surrounded by three Suns, each of which has a different hue, and the play is similar to the astrological signs that exist here on Earth.
(And I for one appreciated the ASCII animation attempt)
