Ian Watson¿s brilliant debut novel was one of the most significant publications in British sf in the 1970s. Intellectually bracing and grippingly written, it is the story of three experiments in linguistics, and is driven by a searching analysis of the nature of communication. Fiercely intelligent, energetic and challenging, it immediately established Watson as a writer of rare power and vision, and is now recognized as a modern classic.

Review:
Enthralling . . . It gave one the sense of being led very near to the brink of profundity, even revelation Fast, invigorating . . . anthropology, linguistics, despoliation of the environment, consciousness-raising drugs, space travel, alien contact, the CIA, you name it. Watson writes with energy and panache - Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels The most impressive first sf novel to appear in the seventies Brilliantly attempts to communicate a precarious truth about what we think is actuality. The effect is quite hallucinating - The Times The most spectacular thing in science fiction since the astounding Solaris - The Spectator Ambitious and compelling - Daily Telegraph One of the most thought-provoking shudders of the year - The Times
Book Description:
A cutting-edge novel about the nature of communication and what it means to be human.
