From the critically acclaimed author of Solaris comes a classic
sci-fi tale about scientists who must decode a message from intelligent
beings in outer space--for fans of Arrival
By pure chance, scientists detect a signal from space that may be
communication from rational beings. How can people of Earth understand
this message, knowing nothing about the senders--including whether or
not they even exist?
Written as the memoir of a mathematician who participates in the
government project (code name: His Master's Voice) attempting to decode
what seems to be a message from outer space, this classic novel shows
scientists grappling with fundamental questions about the nature of
reality, the confines of knowledge, the limitations of the human mind,
and the ethics of military-sponsored scientific research.
