The Three-Body Problem

 

The ideas expounded upon in this video are interesting, but I never read the science fiction trilogy they are extracted from, known as “Remembrance of Earth´s Past” or "The Three-Body Problem Series". Judging from Wikipedia, it´s a standard science fiction story with an extremely complex plot, but it doesn´t sound particularly “Lovecraftian”. 

But sure, maybe Wiki´s entry writer didn´t get it? 

Some kind of ecological concerns have also been woven into the story, which is interestingly enough authored by a Chinese writer, Liu Cixin (for some reason called Cixin Liu in the English-speaking world). 

But, as I said, the speculations in this little YouTube clip (made by a devoted fan of the novels) are worth pondering in their own right…
