His Master's Voice | Stanislaw Lem

1 post | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read

A pulsating stream of neutrino radiation from a source with the power of a sun has been detected on earth and a team of scientists assembled to study and decode the mysterious message. As the scientists wranle among themselves, clashing and conspiring while jockeying for favor and position, Lem produces a witty and inventive satire of "men of science" and their thinking. In the race to discover whether the message is a technological gift or the formula for the ultimate weapon, the author grapples with the issue of scientific responsibility in a compelling sci-fi thriller.

His Master's Voice | Stanislaw Lem

so-so

A group of scientists tries to make sense of what might be a signal from outer space. I had hoped for a little more plot and a little less philosophy and scientific theory, essentially ignoring the narrator‘s initial warning that his report wasn‘t going to be a sci-fi story. It often reads like a precursor to first contact stories like Contact or Arrival/Story of your Life, though I wasn‘t really in the mood for its wordiness.
