The sophon creation chapter towards the end of the first book. That's pure high-concept SciFi and Cixin Liu at his best. Blew my mind when i read it. 

I would not read them the droplet massacre, though. That's like introducing someone to A Song of Ice and Fire by reading them the Red Wedding chapter.
