Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Blindsight by Peter Watts is a groundbreaking work of hard science fiction that delves into the complexities of alien intelligence and human understanding. This novel has earned accolades, including the prestigious Hugo and Shirley Jackson awards, solidifying its place at the forefront of speculative fiction.
Set two months after a cataclysmic event when the stars fell silent, Blindsight takes readers on a thrilling journey as a derelict space probe picks up a mysterious signal from the outskirts of the solar system. This faint whisper beckons the crew to embark on a perilous mission to uncover the source of the communication, which may not even be aimed at humanity.
In this riveting narrative, a diverse team is assembled to confront the unknown alien intellect. The crew includes:
- A linguist with multiple personalities, her brain intricately divided into sentient processing cores.
- A biologist who is so integrated with technology that he perceives x-rays and tastes ultrasound.
- A pacifist warrior whose skills may be crucial in an unforeseen conflict.
- A resurrected monster, an extinct hominid predator, brought back to life with advanced genetic engineering.
- A synthesist, an informational topologist struggling with cognitive impairment, serving as the vital interface between the human crew and the alien intelligence.
The story explores deep philosophical questions about consciousness, communication, and the nature of humanity itself. As the crew navigates their mission, they must grapple with their own identities and the potential consequences of making contact with a being that may be vastly more alien than anything they can comprehend.
