Existence by David Brin.
If you like interstellar sociology, first contact, etc, you'll love this book.
In a different vein, I heard that there is a popular science nonfiction Chinese book, called "The Physics of the Three Body Problem Universe,"
I was keen to order it but realized that I probably can't understand it.
But there are several excellent pop-sci books on String Theory, Big Bang that I would have considered abstract, obtuse prior to reading Three Body Problem,

Ah, I see. The second one, as in the most recent one, is the better translation? This one?
this one "https://www.amazon.com/Wandering-Earth-Classic-Science-Collection/dp/1489502858/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1521580845&sr=8-2&keywords=wandering+earth+cixin+liu" is better

Looks interesting but how can a novel that has high functioning autistic vampires be considered hard Sci Fi?
Edit: In terms of bleak, I was considering The Genocides by Disch. It looks similar to the Three Body Problem in that humans are considered bugs. I haven't read it yet but maybe it would have been the story of what would have happened if the Trisolaran fleet arrived.
An anthology of Chinese SF short stories, called Invisible Planets, was released last month. They were translated by Ken Liu, who translated Three-Body Problem and Death's End into English, and has written some novels of his own as well, mostly fantasy IIRC.
Was in the exact same boat as you; searching for that far (time/space) spanning human epic against certain doom after reading this trilogy. Of all the other similar genre-d books I read afterwards, Seveneves came the closest for me. Give it a shot!
