Who won world war 3 series#
The first book in the series won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2015.
The novels were written between 20, and entered English in 2014. This understanding, the coming catastrophic clash between the dollar and the yuan, is at the core of the novels by Chinese science fiction writer Cixin Liu.Ĭixin is known in the US for his trilogy called, informally, The Three-Body Problem, and, formally, Remembrance of the World Past. Most likely it will result in a war that permanently scorches the skies and destroys millions upon millions of lives. Now, there's nothing in what is called historical capitalism (more about this in a moment) that should lead us to believe that the fall of the US-which ruled the 20th century-and the rise of China will be peaceful. The Japan Center of Economic Project now predicts that China's GDP will surpass the US in a little over a decade. In terms of gross national product (GDP), China became the second largest economy in 2011, when it passed Japan. Indeed, China is already the world's largest market when it comes to what its currency, the yuan, can buy in that market-defined as Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). Nothing can stop this transfer of global power. Russia's invasion occurred at a time when the US and China are in a very volatile transition the former is losing its position as the center of capitalist accumulation to the latter.
There's another reason to call our moment the beginning of World War III. What's likely is that the near future will see Russian's recent invasion of Ukraine in much the same way we see Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939.
