   How did “the three body problem” become so successful? It must be incomprehensible for 85% of the reading population.

     @lain Even 1% of the reading market is wild success, so its OK to alienate most people as long as a book appeals to others.
     
     Also it opens with regret literature so litfic people can just read the first act then pretend they liked the whole book to seem smart.

     @lain And nobody but hard scifi nerds talk about the third book.
     
     Honestly not sure how even they got that far the second book was just cringe.
