Rendition In Favor Of Books His Master's Voice

Twenty-five hundred scientists have been herded into an isolated site in the Nevada desert. A neutrino message of extraterrestrial origin has been received and the scientists, under the surveillance of the Pentagon, labor on His Master's Voice, the secret program set up to decipher the transmission. Among them is Peter Hogarth, an eminent mathematician. When the project reaches a stalemate, Hogarth pursues clandestine research into the classified TX Effect--another secret breakthrough. But when he discovers, to his horror, that the TX Effect could lead to the construction of a fission bomb, Hogarth decides such knowledge must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the military.

Assess Out Of Books His Master's Voice

Grande Lem.

Lem asks absurd questions that somehow have relevance in reality and yet simultaneously asks relevant questions answered with absurd responses. All this he accomplishes without bludgeoning "why s", "how s", or "because s" but rather in a style that immerses the reader in his topsy-turvy world...one which somehow still makes sense. It's a science fiction novel that simultaneously:_has virtually nothing but scientists as characters. (what a concept?!?)&_treats the science fiction genre in a

Being a writer, I try to stay away from reviewing fiction, lest I give the impression of being biased or, even worse, spiteful. However, as Lem is unfortunately dead, I feel reasonably safe in penning this review and secure enough (as an atheist, I dont expect his ghost to haunt me and, as a fellow atheist, I doubt he would stoop to such tactics either) to be honest.HIS MASTERS VOICE was written in 1968. That is the first very important point because, until you place the novel in the proper

His Master's Voice is the story of a brilliant mathematician, working on a Manhatten Project-like in an attempt to decipher a signal from space. The attempt has only succeeded in deciphering a tiny fragment of the message (and that is not well understood). Thus the work fits in with Lem's many writings on the subject of the "alien" and how it may be impossible to understand something which is truly different from us. These other works include "Fiasco", "Eden" and (most famously) "Solaris". "His

This is a science fiction novel but it is only sort-of science fiction, and, for that matter, only sort-of a novel.It's in the form of a memoir or musing by a noted mathematician who worked in the upper levels of a secret government project code-named His Master's Voice the purpose of which was to decode and comprehend a message, seemingly sent by intelligent beings from outer space, on neutrino waves.We are told from the outset that the project was not successful no communication was set

Lem, more than any other author I've come across, can present and explore something truly alien. Most authors write extraterrestrials as being not that dissimilar to humans in terms of behavior, even if different in appearance: whether they are attempting to conquer or assist us, the aliens written by Heinlein, Clarke, Wells, Bradbury, etc. are entities that we can on some level understand. Because of this, they do not feel truly alienmore akin to humans in rubber masks than life that arose

Let me start by saying that I've owned this book for around five or six years and have only just completed it. I've made several attempts over the years, the most recent of which involving swearing to myself that I would not read anything else until I completed it. Well, I've completed it, and the sensation is something akin to climbing a grueling mountain only to turn around afterward and discover that it was, in fact, an anthill.Don't get me wrong. Lem's brilliant ability to misdirect the
