In Netflix’s adaptation of “3 Body Problem,” what significant change was made from Liu Cixin’s original novel?

The most notable alteration Netflix introduced in its adaptation of Liu Cixin’s “3 Body Problem” is the expansion of the setting from a predominantly Chinese backdrop to a more international stage. While the original narrative unfolds within China’s intricate socio-political and cultural fabric, starting with the Cultural Revolution to futuristic sci-fi scenarios, the series opts for an even broader canvas. This change, featured in the series released in March 2024, ignited mixed reactions, especially among Chinese audiences and those familiar with the original work.
