The part where the Trisolarians try to make the Special Thing was hands down one of the dumbest things I've ever read in science fiction.

The first 3rd of the book that dealt with cultural revolution fallout was awesome, though. But yeah---back half was bad enough to ruin the whole thing for me.

I thought it was hilarious, myself. The Amazing Artifact treated as a government project.

Surely nothing can top the latter half of Orson Scott Card's Xenocide.
