In my view, Judge Dee is a famous mystery series, not a go book.


spotted go in “Boule de foudre” (ball lightning) de Liu Cixin (the author of three body problem ~)
He use it as a metaphor, to explain that simple rules of fluid mechanics and electromagnetism can generate extreme complexity.
“C’était comme le jeu de go, dans lequel des pions noir et blancs, et un ensemble de règles très simple suffisent à engendrer le jeu le plus complexe au monde”


It was like the game of go, in which black and white stones, and a very simple set of rules are enough to generate the most complex game in the world."
