Durante la Revolución Cultural china, un proyecto militar secreto envía señales al espacio para contactar con extraterrestres. Pronto, una civilización alienígena al borde de la destrucción capta la señal y comienza a planear su desembarco en la Tierra. Durante las décadas siguientes, se comunica a través de un insólito método: un extraño videojuego virtual impregnado de historia y filosofía. Pero a medida que los alienígenas empiezan a ganar a los jugadores terrícolas, se forman distintos bandos, unos dispuestos a dar la bienvenida a esos seres superiores y ayudarlos a hacerse cargo de un mundo tan corrupto, y otros preparados para luchar contra la invasión. El resultado es una experiencia tan auténtica como reveladora sobre nuestro tiempo.

The first few chapters had me darting to and from Wikipedia to help add some context to a story that is deeply set in the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It',s a triviality to call the story complex, a mystery than unfolds through the book. Be warned this is the first in a trilogy and a very much sets itself up this way, which was a little frustrating in the last few chapters.
