Deep in the Brazilian jungle, an isolated tribe face eviction from their ancestral lands - and the psychedelic fungus that makes their religious language possible.In a British laboratory, a brilliant linguist conducts cutting-edge experiments - but does his search for answers come at too high a cost?And in the ultimate test of linguistics, First Contact presents a challenge unlike any humanity has faced before . . .Fiercely intelligent, energetic and challenging, The Embedding immediately established Watson as a writer of rare power and vision, and is now recognized as a modern classic of SF. A cutting-edge novel about the nature of communication and what it means to be human. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
