I would like to read more but whenever I try to read something that's more challenging than a comic strip I get this feeling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrCPIrs90eg

Umm, did you skip the foreword when you read it? :)
If you had read it you wouldn't have added the word 'political' to that post and you wouldn't have called it a 'trilogy'.

My interpretation of it is that it's mainly about politics. The Trisolarians are technically more advanced and see Earth as a colonizable planet because they themselves cannot predict the climatic catastrophes on their planet. The protagonist of the novel is the daughter of a scientist who died during the Cultural Revolution, and who is herself a political opponent and has become disillusioned with humanity. She will somehow make contact with Trisolaris. Except that the Trisolarians have technology that allows them to stem the technological progress of Earth by eliminating scientists.

What's interesting is that we can both hate and empathize with most of the book's protagonists. Trisolaris is a bit like Earth, an advanced civilization but unable to control its own planet and therefore willing to invade another planet to save itself. and Ye Wenjie, despite having lost her father and being a political opponent herself, is prepared for the possibility of the destruction of human civilization and has been working in secret for years to discover and communicate with Trisolaris. The end of the book coincides with the official discovery by the main world powers of the existence of Trisolaris, which has already begun to prepare the ground on Earth !

and it is a trilogy that has the same name as the first book "The Three-Body Problem", however, I have not yet read the next two
