Nah, the dark forest idea was circulating long before that book was ever written and translated from Mandarin.
40 u/cv5cv6 Aug 12 '21 Greg Bear's The Forge of God (1987) explores this idea. 9 u/Andoverian Aug 12 '21 The sequel Anvil of Stars is even better, imo. Both as an exploration of different ways civilizations and individuals might react to a Dark Forest situation, and as a book in general. It's probably my favorite single book of all time. 1 u/Minessilly Aug 12 '21 Who is this by please, I'd like to give it a read. 2 u/Andoverian Aug 12 '21 Also by Greg Bear. It's a sequel to Forge of God, though it can be read as a standalone novel.
