Scientists attempt to decode what may be a message from intelligent beings in outer space. 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 senderseven whether or not they 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.

"Such deadly wit, such deadly playful tightrope walkinga modern European version of Swift or Voltaire.Peter S. Beagle, New York Times The release of these new volumes seems to expand the possibilities of what a university publisher can do. LitHub This thorough, intellectual take on a classic hard sci-fi trope is Lem at his best. STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly Fourteen years after his death, the universe is still struggling to catch up with the vast creative force that was Stanislaw Lem. And for my money, it won't be surpassing him anytime soonEnjoying the genius of Lem requires readerly dexterity and a willingness to go wherever the author takes youThese marvelous, absorbing and often hilarious books make our weary universe seem pale and undistinguished by comparison. The Washington Post
