Description

Ian Watson's debut novel is a thought-provoking exploration of communication and its nature. Three experiments in linguistics serve as the foundation for this gripping story, which delves into the complexities of human interaction. At its core, this novel is driven by a searching analysis of the ways in which we connect with each other. Fiercely intelligent and energetic, it presents a challenging yet compelling vision of the world. First published in 1970, Watson's work has established him as a writer of rare power and vision, making this book a significant publication in British science fiction. With its intellectually bracing tone, this novel is likely to appeal to readers interested in exploring the intricacies of human communication.
