To call this book dense is an understatement, and yet, I read the whole thing. I was attracted by the glimmers of new ideas it gave me about the difficulties of translating messages from other civilizations… including not even knowing if they are messages or natural phenomena. The narrator speaks at such a high intellectual level that initially I thought the book was satirizing intellectualism. By the end, I decided that the author had been entirely serious.
