Character from dark-forest by
Nanotechnology researcher and reluctant Three Body player from Book 1 — a peripheral figure in The Dark Forest, named in passing as the Crisis Era opens around him.
Wang Miao does not act in Book 2 — he has stepped offstage, his nanofibers having already been used in the Operation Guzheng raid on the Judgment Day. He remains relevant as the era's first ordinary scientist to be made strange by the sophons; later characters quote him without realizing it.
A middle-aged Chinese man in academic-casual: sweater, glasses, the slightly hunched posture of a lab director. By the time of The Dark Forest he is no longer in scene; his name surfaces in references to the early Crisis institutions.
