The Other Universes | Three Body Problem Series
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 05. 2023
- The Remembrance of Earth’s Past Trilogy is one of the best sets of speculative science fiction books to appear in recent years. The Trilogy explores themes surrounding both the human will to survive, and the potential of mankind to inflict harm upon itself rather than band together in the face of a greater threat. Another major theme is our place in the universe and assumptions about the cosmos and our lack of actual concrete knowledge about it. Because of its exploration of these themes, the Remembrance of Earth's Past is one of the most existentially terrifying series of the modern era. I’ve covered several aspects of the series in videos that can be found linked in a playlist below. In this video specifically, we will discuss the ending of the final book in the trilogy, Death’s End. This video will have spoilers for all three books in the series.

Thanks For Watching! - Zábava
Thank you for your continued coverage of this series. It’s easily one of the best things I’ve ever read. Every time you cover it, I’m reminded of why that is.
Agreed - I was just re-listening to Quinn’s excellent interpretation of the series. Thank you Quinn!!!
If you have read it once, read it again. You may understand more, as I did. An Amazing, chilling, teary, heartfelt story.
It’s certainly not as good as Iain m banks and the stories go off on tangents too much in the later books ..I’m a fan of the concept and I enjoyed the first book
I work in a cannabis nursery we play your series over the speakers and the plants love it I appreciate you man🙏🏾
Must be some sadistic plants
Never thought I would hear a sentence like this in my life
I want some of that Kosmic Existentialism Kush
i can vibe to that
@@mrnukes797
can't blame them knowing i might be one of its next consumers.
Besides man have a nice voice
Just one of the many things that I really like this series is how it realistically shows how polluted, abused, and ruined the universe is as a result of the rampant amount of life and civilizations in it.
This series breaks your heart as much as it blows your mind.
Aye, it takes pressure off of us and our destructive nature, in a sense, then magnifies it to an unbelievably immense and terrifying scope universally across every other species.
We're not terrible, we're normal, and that's terrifying.
Counter point. Life and civilizations are part of nature.
Would you say a black hole is "polluting, abusing, and ruining" the universe?
Youre applying human morality to natural phenomenon, stop that...
It's not realistic at all
@@timmyt1293wow. You are telling me that a science FICTION book isn't exactly realistic?? Who would have guessed
@@timmyt1293 tell us more, doctor timmy, read us an excerpt from your doctoral dissertation
Sophon's description of overall structure of the pocket universes started to scratch an itch in my brain. She said that there were multiple great universes and pocket universes all existing on a membrane. Then later they find out that the mass of the universe is "set" incredibly precisely/delicately to just barely allow a big crucn, and deviation from that total mass will result in a big chill/rip, preventing it from restarting.
Those two pieces of info, along with the theme of the "nature" of the universe not being so natural, having been influenced by countless civilizations, across multiple dimensions of space, made me ask: "Why would the dark forest stop at just the edge of the universe?"
If we make the, admittedly, big assumption that the universes could detect other universes, but similar dark forest rules applied, then perhaps the fundamental rules, including the mass limit, could be part of a "safety signal" to prevent dark forest strikes from other universes.
Thought it was a fun idea.
It is fun you should write this fanfic
going to be first, ha!
Universe have their own physics. Once you leave universe and enter universe the laws of physics are different hence we cannot use laws of physics as weapons as intelligent life did within universe. Your idea have other flaw. The problem was not that the mass was set. It was greater than big crunch criticality. They were unsure that what exactly will be enough massfor big crunch. That is why it was important that other pocket universe makes same decision.
I like to imagine that it's a psychological simulation assessing whether sentient life generated in a simulation could sacrifice for the greater good. It's the prisoner's dilemma on steroids.
Remember, the Trisolarans actually encountered another universe within a fundamental particle when trying to unfold a proton into higher dimension; the "eyes" that tried to burn Trisolaran cities by focusing the light of one of their suns. So in that sense I guess you could say the dark forest theory extends beyond universes
My god, imagine leaving for a minute and coming back 1 million years later. This serie is pure brain candy.
Just like the water world scene in interstellar
And she was supposed to just meet her long lost (will they won't they) crush
So that's why my dad isn't back yet
@@GreySergal so sorry for your loss murph
What impressed me most about this series had less to do with the sci-fi aspects and more the anthropological. The amount of care and attention given to the question about how humanity would respond to the fact that they know an existential threat is heading towards them; they know when (or at least have a good idea) and as to when and what form it will take. Throwing in that the ETA is beyond the first several generation's lifetime, but not so far out that it isn't constantly on everyone's minds.
There was a time when this type of thing was something people had to deal with. In the Ancient world, when you are aware an enemy army is heading your way, but might not get there for several months or even a couple years. That really isn't something that's been an issue for a long time.
There was a realism to how everytime someone was taken out of stasis after being asleep for decades or a century, to find that the world was completely different from how it was before, including society's view on the Trisolarans imminent arrival: from hopelessness to authoritarianism; a martial preparedness to denial. It's like watching an entire species going through the various stages of grief.
Some of the scariest Sci-fi stories are the ones with a little "truth" sprinkled within. The expansion of the universe is one of those terrifying ideas that sits in the back of my mind eating away at my sanity...😅😱
Unless reincarnation is a thing we will all be long gone. It would be a terrifying but also such an amazing thing to be alive to witness the universe ending. We often talk about and make movies on the world ending, imagine witnessing the universes collapse
Try to remember.. we created DE and DM theories because our laws of physics dont work on the meta scale. We have no evidence of their existence. We need them to make out current laws work.
Also : infinite intropy imo is simply the result of ignoring all laws of physics except your preferred one. Unless expansion eluminates gravity etc..every particle will still be attracted to every other particle. If expansion resulted in matter/energy simply being spread out evenly...our current universe would already be a thin soup
If we go by the big bang idea, we are an ongoing explosion. Rapid expansion until the momentum is used up, then the surrounding medium will push back.
@@liamloxley1222 oh I know, I didn't mean a literal collapse I just meant it as in destruction or the end of. I've heard that the heat death of the universe is far more likely than some of the other theories.
People occupy themselves with terror of how the universe ends, completely ignoring the existential horror of the void of nonexistence awaiting us upon our death.
19:54 : This line gave me chills. Please return the mass you stole from the universe and send only the memories to the new universe...
Yep and once again Cheng xin does the opposite and ignore the message and leaves the memories behind and decides to return herself. You should think by now she should understand what a disaster she has been for humanity and listen to what she is told to do ……
@@ilselauwers6009I'm so happy someone else raises this point. She single handedly destroyed two star systems and possibly now a universe. Wow.
She's not going to the new universe though, at the end of the book she returns to the old universe, leaving only the collected memories of humankind and a few fish in the pocket universe, where it could eventually reach the new universe@@ilselauwers6009
Omg am I gonna be frustrated with her? 😩😩 oh noo..... @@DrG65199
I am sure we all hate her but she is one lucky one to go thru end of space time and everything and have a burden of an entire universe with a brain of 21st century lol
Time sure is a terrifying tool when used properly.
I finished reading The Redemption of Time last month, and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was amazing how a fan of the Three Body Problem series could have written that book in such a short time after the release of Death's End. My mind was blown by how many things the author could explain connecting dots from the original story. It's for sure the best fan made book I've ever read. I am excited for your future videos on it.
I read it to, and I feel the same way. best book ever written by a fan. I could not believe he was able to blow my mind with big reveals about the original books, in the same way the original books did. The book felt a little different than the original series sometimes, but it was amazingly good.
Cixun Liu approved the book himself! That just goes to show how impressive Redemption of Time is
If only Frank Herberts son could have written an amazing book like the Redemption of Time. He wrote so many completely unraveling the characters 😭
@@Thereal_Pranabindu right?! It would be cool.
Quinn thankyou for reigniting my passion for reading after nearly 12 years since I just stopped.
I just the finished the last book of the Foundation series and I completed the Three Body Problem series back in December and January.
So I can finally go back watch your videos and not worry about spoilers.
Thanks again
Oh yes, Environmentalism has always been a theme in the series, since the very first installment. The Co-founder of the Threebody Organization was a radical environmentalist. Ye Wenjie read the book ‘Silent Spring’ during her time at the Red Bank Base, which was about the apocalyptic environmental disaster caused by insecticide abuse in the US. Different chemicals interact in the natural bodies and created new toxins, the unpredictable results making chemical decontamination extremely difficult.
The advanced civilizations of the Universe are the ones abusing the insecticides. They use horrific and unstoppable, ever-expanding weapons of mass destruction to cull the younger races, who are literally just insects to them. However they themselves cannot cancel out the effects of these weapons, and find themselves under the same threat they put the younger races in. Ironic. Just like how humans got poisoned by chemicals of our own production.
And the metaphor is made only stronger by Trisolarians’ own words:’You are insects!’
Is that why most products from China are laced with lead and arsenic?
@@christiandupont950 Well, as far as I know I’m not yet beset by lead poisoning. But you see, once upon a time, German goods were considered inferior of quality by the rest of Europe. Once upon a time Americans were known for tech theft, pattern piracy, protectionism and unfair dumping, the underdog among civilized world. I’m not suggesting it’s all fair game. But we were all once there, dirty peasants who care only about profiting at some point in history. Give the Chinese some time, you can’t expect them to change overtime eh? But yeah a people poisoned by communism often emerge more degenerate and immoral that’s true, very sad.
@@christiandupont950 Also I’m a self-professed non-denominational Christian. I aspire to become Catholic someday, although, well, who knows if the church here is truly Catholic… I believe theism is the inevitable end result of reasoning, and I view you as my brother in Christ.
See, we can have rational discourse, no need to lash out and take pot shots.
No, I say that we keep taking pot shots
Quinn ...
You pretty much singlehandedly revived my interest in reading, writing, and story telling. Thanks bro
Quinn, i really appreciate your Q & A. You do not take the easy ones, but rather the questions that you can answer with your intention for the content you create. Thank you for the insights and hard work
Your breakdown of the timeline of this series had me constantly looking forward to the next video. The story constantly went into completely unexpected directions and I love the message at the end. Now we can only hope that Tencent puts the other two books to screen as well. I can't wait to see how they would depict the wild stuff that's coming next
Hey Quinn, I picked this series up because of you and it’s now my favorite sci-fi series. Thank you for shedding light on it. I don’t think I would have found it if not for your videos. Funny enough, your ominous opening theme is something I now associate with this series lol thank you for the awesome recommendations. If I ever need a new book to read, I know exactly where to look now. Thanks, bud. You’re doing great things.
I just love your video's on the Three Body Problem, thank you so much for making these! I have a hard time effectively forcing myself to read through these books the first time and have yet to read a second time; yet I am in love with the idea's and thought experiments the series uses. They are terrifying yet absolutely incredible! Though these ideas can be terrifying, I can't help but enjoy playing with these concepts in my own mind.
Really seems like a one of a kind series, the science is so wild yet not absurdly implausible. Thanks for all the videos you do, found several new universes to delve into through them.
I appreciate your diving into this series. You’re awesome!!
I stumbled upon your channel about a year ago, and was so intrigued by TBP I read the whole series over a couple of months. I’m still blown away by it. I just started watching the series on Viki, and while it’s not top tier, it’s still okay.
The pure joy of seeing a Quinn Three Body Problem vid on your feed followed by the existential dread of what the actual video contains is always a rollercoaster 😅
I've had a harsh cough for about a week now, can't sleep at night. I work on an ambulance so I really need to be getting sleep, I love listening to your videos at night, this helps me so much. Thank you for your work Quinn.
I started this series only a month ago on the back of your videos...already read through all three and loved them! Thank you Quinn and keep up the great work!
Excellent! I have always loved the music you choose for the background of your narration as well as the intro/outro. It is just so fitting to the subject matter!
Thanks for keeping this channel going strong!
Yesss,he totally "nails it" with the music!!!
I believe his partner actually composes all the music he uses. Theres a whole channel dedicated to just that music!
@@patreekotime4578 Really? That is actually really f'n cool! I will have to check it out.
I'm glad you cover these books in such detail, I went out and bought them as soon as you recommended them (or rather, as soon as I watched the first part of your first video on them) and I can't get enough.
I can't thank you enough Quinn. I've been following you for over a year and this is my all-time favorite sci-fi series you have covered. I don't have access to the show, yet, but I'm excited and patient. Again, thank you.
There is a show???? (I thought there are only books?)
@@leonefurlan137 30 episode Chinese show with each episode running around 50 minutes. Not completely subtitled yet. Quinn has been reviewing the episodes in bulk. I'm waiting(dying) to watch it first.
@@Saintious All 30 episodes have official English sub on CZcams. The catch is it's for US viewers only, other regions can only watch ep 1 - 4 (the rest is watchable on WeTV app but who would install that). Wish there was some way we can watch region-locked contents (wink wink).
@@LQTu You are a blessing. Thank you so much. Now I can continue my journey.
@@LQTu speaking from experience you are wrong about the region lock though.
I live in the Netherlands (EU region) and I have watched all episodes with English subs without any problems.
(And no, I don't use a VPN)
Enjoyed the concepts in the book but the character Cheng Xin kind of ruined the series for me. To trust her once with the fate of mankind was suspect, to trust her a 2nd time after her abject failure was beyond comprehension.
A lot of readers felt the same as you. When the novel was first published, Liu did respond to this question raised by many fans. If I recall correctly, he said this reflects the reality of humanity. Humans are not always strong and united; we have flaws, weaknesses, and sometimes we are too kind. Our gestures have good intentions, but the results can turn out bad.
I understand what you mean but I disagree. Firstly, she really was not trusted for the 2nd time, she just took on a responsibility that in hindsight was responsibility over the humanitys' survival. She gave the ownership of Halo Company to Wade but it was not the humanity that placed trust in her. Instead I feel as if she took on a huge responsibility either naively or out of massive arrogance and belief that she knows best. In the end she makes the wrong choise but it is discussed that it was a delay of about 34 years at thst point. In reality more time was wasted by humanity by banning lightspeed research as there are years and years between her receiving the fairytales and her awakening in bunker era. If that time was spent, already, on lightspeed research it couldve been on time. So really, the 2nd mistakes was a larger decision and her mistake on making Wade give up was not a responsibility given to her but instead one she just took on. I think her character is actually quite good in that she is very human and makes a lot of mistakes, even after she should know better she is just a crisis era human, not a galactic era human. Its also shown in the discussion at the end when they ponder whether to return to the grand universe or not
And even at the end the message is : give back the mass you stole from the universe and all the memories ( not you that are living inside the small universes). And what does she decides to do …… yep she fucks up again ….
@@ilselauwers6009yea at that point I was cracking up that she fkd up again.
@@rookmuses2044 to be fair humans making the worst choices is pretty realistic
Feel like I am such a different person since I started watching your series on these books, lots of things have changed and yet its all pretty small in context to the enormity of this book. Good job.
This video series is like crack
I'll take your word for it
OMG 30 minutes of pure sci fi joy
The part in the shuttle with Yifan and Cheng Xin was so crushing to me. Right before she was going to see Yun Tianming again... Man...
But talk about "if he wanted to he would " man.. that dude gifted her an literal universe for fvck sake.
Thanks for covering this series in such detail. While I enjoy the overall concepts in it, it's a little too complex in themes and scale for me to read personally, so I enjoy your detailed summary of them!
I have just finished Death's End. Truly amazing, mindblowing. Or at least it is to me. Thanks for putting me onto this absolute gem of a series Quinn
Brilliant work & explanation of the end Quinn. Still my favourite 'recent' series since I read it a few years back.
Keep up the great content!
Your excellent coverage of the book series is like reading it again in a book club of sorts. Very much enjoy and appreciate your hard work!
It’s here!!! I recently read all of the books. Can’t wait to hear you explain it!
Cheers from the UK matey! Love a bit of R.O.E. reflectivity. No one else in my circle of family, friends and acquaintances "gets it" with this series, I love it's large scope.
Awesome! The real meaning of the word!
I enjoy all your videos, but 3 Body Problem series was what I discovered you with and I always get more excited to see another video on it.
I seriously screamed when I saw this was uploaded! I've been waiting months for this video!!!
Quinn. Thank's to your videos, I got convinced to buy and read the 3 Body Problem book series. They'll arrive on a few days, I've avoided some of your coverage in order to not being spoiled, but can't wait to read them and come back to your videos. Great work!
I would love to see you cover the space force’s timeline. There’s so much madness and mayhem takes place during and after the battle of darkness, and their tribunal in the deterrence era. Thanks for making amazing videos I’m absolutely obsessed with this series and I can’t stop reading and watching your other channels too.
I absolutely LOVE listening to this series. This dude is a genuine content creator.
yesss!!! I've been waiting for another three body problem video. Keep up the good work Quinn :)
Your passion for this series has really rubbed off on me. I'm dealing with depression and all that stuff so I prefer my more optimistic science fiction but this series is absolutely fascinating. I used to think it was depressing just for the hell of it but it really does seem to have alot to say about humanity, which is exactly what science fiction is all about.
I am glad I found your channel and discovered this series. It is really fascinating and I am going to read it. Excellent video
Listening to this series has started my journey into reading science fiction, Im excited for the dread.
Great job keep it up.
I'm looking forward to the video on the spinoff novel. Can't leave those two hanging like that! This series is so thought-provoking.
Note on the expansion of our universe: Space is expanding _between_ galaxies. It's true that eventually we (if anyone is left by then) won't be able to see anything outside our galaxy, but the galaxy itself will hold together instead of its mass spreading out to nothingness. Sabine Hossenfelder did a great video on this "What does the universe expand into?" Credit to her for my knowledge of this. 😉
But by the time that all the other galaxies have expanded out of our field of view will there even be many stars left burning in our own galaxy? Basically will the other galaxies recede faster than the lifetime of the stars in our galaxy?
Yes, but stellar fissible material is constantly decreasing as the universe heads towards entropy. Eventually, there wont be any star stuff left and just inert metallic dust and black holes will be left, drifting out forever in darkness.
@@himynameis3664 well it wont just be our galaxy but our local galaxy cluster. The force of gravity is strong enough to hold it together and likely will merge into some kind of super galaxy eventually
its possible that expansion increases so drastically that even galaxies, systems and molecules will eventuall get torn apart
Thank you for these videos! I haven't necessarily had the time or mental energy to explore a new series lately, so I appreciate these wonderfully executed summaries.
Your coverage of this series made me want to read all 3 books. I did, it was worth it
Thanks
I LOVE these videos, not just about this series, which I really enjoy, but any series or books. I could listen to him talk about any book or all day
love your videos Quinn! I've been learning to code through a bootcamp i started in august and most mornings i wake up early and i make some coffee, and watch one of your videos to wake up and get ready for the day. Really love the kind of content you make since it indescribably fits so perfectly into that niche of what i love, i wish there were more like you here on youtube. Keep it up!
I just finished your lovecraft livestream last night, it was well said and interesting.
I love your coverage on the three body problem, you got me to start reading it as well as the children of time series! Thanks Quinn!
Sometimes when I just want to run away from this world and i feel lonely, i put headphones on and just listen to you talk about my favourite books. Thanks man.
I started this series because of you and finished last month. Thanks for introducing and the follow up vids especially the ending here
Fantastic read. The TBP and Death's End has so many good concepts that while not perfectly executed, showcases fantastical ideas mixed with human nature.
wow, I just discovered this video series yesterday and it's so fascinating, thank you very much.
I’d never heard of these books until I watched one of your video. I bought all 3 audiobooks and my brain has been fried ever since.
Will always remember this series thank you for putting us on
Amazing! Your channel is so great for me, because it is very hard to read for me because of my ADHD. But you bring me the magic of those stories anyway, and in such an eloquent and intelligent way that I feel like I read the books myself. Thank you!
I second this
God! This video gave me serious chills. I love this series so much, and i really appreciate you and your opinions. Love you Quinn!
Pitch meeting of death's end coming on Sunday on my channel
Your videos are amazing. I’m so happy I found you on CZcams! Thank you for all of your videos
First heard of this when you made your first video on the series and now it’s my favorite sci-fi series. Would love to hear your thoughts on the 4th/spinoff. Love the really heady and existential themes in the end of the series.
Heck yea
It's a cool spinoff.
I did'nt even know that there's a 4th book??? Is it worth reading?
@@leonefurlan137 It is. It's really cool.
It's the first time I heard someone else interpreting the series as a metaphor to our own environment. Good one, Quinn. Once more, pristine content!
As someone else said, Quinn , your music choice for your vids is impeccable!!! Even the vids where the topic does'ntt particullary interest me,i watch ncs of awesome music & your soothing voice...
Keep it up man,
Peace
As always Quinn, incredible film! Thank you! You made me read The Three-Body series and I'm forever traumatized loll
That was an awesome ending. I could picture it so clearly. Thank you!
Man, your videos are so enchanting.
Thank you!
The three body problem series is probably my favorite story ever told, what a series.
Your videos are the best. It really doesn’t even matter the subject, I’m not deep into the science fiction reading…but you def get me interested! Wish we still had more new ASOIAF, as I’ve watched a lot of yours several times! 👊
Dude you're easily one of my favorite creators. Hope you're doing well
Another AMAZING VIDEO Quinn!!!
I love this series and your coverage is better than anyone else's.
More frequent uploads please it's the only part of my work day I enjoy
This is my new favorite scifi . Thanks to you. Big round of applause
Using animal brains as computers is such a wild concept. And the fact that the computers don't work because the speed of light is reduced so those ones and zeroes are **physically slowed**. That guy has an impressive imagination.
Your Three Body Problem series is how I found you. And I absolutely love the content.
THANK YOU! This just made my day!!!
I get excited every time I see one of your new vids plz don't stop !!
Always love your Three Body Videos!
Appreciate the effort you put into your work bro. I been really enjoying it
This is best series covered by this channel. Please more videos about it !
My brain exploded about 18mins into this video, great work Quinn!
You are awesome, Quinn - hope all is well with you and your family!
Have you ever played "No Man's Sky "? It's an amazing space game and would be perfect for using footage of frigates, freighters, and other massive and/or small space ships. Whole fleets of ships are constantly popping out of hyperspace when you're flying around any star system. Plus there's an infinite amount of flora and fauna that are procedurally generated. Many creatures look like they're right out of a Lovecraft story. The game is so big it would take everyone on Earth working 24/7 for 15,000 years to visit every star system and planet and moon. It's an amazing space game that I guarantee you'll find very entertaining. Funny tip, you literally have to use Stargates to visit planets. There's pictographs you have to input in order to travel to planets previously found by people. (Just like the Stargate movies and shows)
Awesome video series alongside your many others!
This is the only channel of this type I know and I can’t get enough
I sooo look forward to a new video. I love this series. Thanks!
Bro this channel is really good. Thank you
I discovered this book series through Quinn's videos, I would have NEVER read this book or opened it without the chilling ways of which Quinn describes the existential and cosmic horrors of this trilogy.
I still have every intention to read it, but still. . .If I had the mindset for approaching sci-fi I would have grabbed this book on my own.
Now that Quinn has primed my mindset, I can discover more sci-fi novels after I finish remembrance of Earth's past series.
Fun fact: the literal translation of the original Chinese title of Death's End, 死神永生, is "the god of death lives forever", a very fitting way of describing the ultimate fate of the universe if not enough matter were returned from the countless basement universes.
It makes even _more_ sense if you've read the fan sequel, _Three Body X_ (or _The Redemption of Time_ in English).
I can only imagine how much is really lost through translation
That’s beautiful
thank again quinn, because of your videos i was fortunate enough to come across this amazing book
i hope you do a shit load more of these. Its by far the coolest books series you've done. i need the next 6 vids to be on the three body problem please and thankyou :)
Been waiting for another video on this series
Love Quinn remberance oep videos . Got me hooked on the books. Thanks.
Love the Three Body Problem series. Cheers!
Quinn, I both Love and Hate you! I love you for introducing me to this series a year ago, I hate you for introducing me to this series a year ago.
I have read so so so many scifi books, among which from your recommendations in your streams: Killing Star, Childhood's End, the whole Dune series, House of Suns, But man-oh-man nothing has thoroughly screwed my up like this series..... It was such a fun ride, that I even listened to the audiobooks 4 times since then.
Can you or any of my lovely co-fans of this series recommend more books that are as cerebral as Redemption of Earth's Past series, or even something with a similar vibe and dread that is the DarkForest theory?
It would be incredibly appreciated
Thank you! I found the scientific concepts in the 3rd book to be much more difficult to understand compared to books 1 and 2. This was a helpful refresher.
There's a CZcams video I watched a few years ago that really, really shows you what the expansion of universe will lead too, and what deep time really looks like. I'm not a full blown nihilist, but it did show me that nothing we do matters in the end. In 10 quintillion quintillion quintillion years, nothing that you, me, or anyone else has ever done or accomplished will have mattered.
Only read the first book so far but it was your commentary about them that got me intrigued, love it.
Edit: just ordered the last 3.
Edit 2.0: They arrived! Let the crisis era begin!
the editing of the comment makes it so funny ahhahaha, loved it; I want to read it too
Last three? Aren't there only three in total?

Love you videos about this book. I would never read this because it sounds way too complex for me to understand but I enjoy listening to things that happen in it.
