脸书CEO马克·扎克伯格2015年的新年决心就是每两个礼拜读一本重要的书,并且在网站的社区上讨论。

Zuckerberg’s book club, A Year of Books, has focused on big ideas that affect society and the business community. He has broken up those heavy books with some lighter science fiction, Liu Cixin’s “The Three-body Problem.
扎克伯格的读书俱乐部“读书之年”聚焦影响社会和商界的伟大想法。他已经舍弃内容沉重的大部头书,取而代之的是轻松愉悦的科幻小说——刘慈欣的《三体》。

It was first published in China in 2008, and the English translation that came out last year, won the 2015 hugo award for Best Novel.
《三体》出版于2008年,其译本去年问世,获2015年雨果奖最佳长篇小说。
