Read the whole trilogy, it's all excellent. I heard rumors of a movie a while back but not sure if that's still happening?

I remember the bit about the Earth-Trisolaris Organization undermining human governments because they believe humanity deserves to be destroyed—or else that the aliens will bring us to utopia... and after this year I think, wow, this guy really understood human nature when he wrote that.

I have read it. It's impressive, some of the most impressive fiction I've ever consoomed. However I do not think that at this time the big screen is capable of handling ideas this complex or nuanced. Maybe a video game?
