Sophon
Character from deaths-end by Liu Cixin
The Trisolarans' android voice on Earth — a slim Japanese-styled woman in a tea-house kimono whose smile becomes a soldier's sneer the second the Swordholder's hand falters.
Also known as: 智子, Tomoko, Zhi Zi
What They Know
- She is a humanoid robot piloted at faster-than-light speeds by quantum-entangled sophons (proton-sized supercomputers) on Trisolaris
- She personally chose Cheng Xin as the safe Swordholder candidate, knowing Wade and the others would have fired
- She directs the destruction of all gravitational-wave antennae and the relocation of humanity to Australia in the days after deterrence collapses
- She informs world leaders, calmly, that the Trisolaran reservation has no agriculture and that the population will reduce itself to roughly 200 million through cannibalism
- After Trisolaris is destroyed by a photoid she immolates her body and her proton flees to find Cheng Xin in the pocket universe
- She honors Yun Tianming's standing wishes regarding Cheng Xin, even as the rest of her programming runs on contempt
