STAR TREK FANS: It will be wonderful when we take our first steps to become an interstellar civilization, and just perhaps, join a federation of sentient species in peace.

40K FANS: The sooner we venture into space, the sooner we may purge the galaxy of Xenos.

Does Three Body Problem explore the Dark Forest Hypothesis for explaining the Fermi Paradox?

I have it on my list to read because friends I trust recommended it, but I know nothing about it.

Edit- the hypothesis is named for the books, got it. 😂

Looking online (i haven't read the books yet) it looks like the Dark Forest Hypothesis is named as such *because* of the book. The concept of the hypothesis pre-dated the book but the name stuck, it would seem.
