About the Book
Babel-17 is one of the landmark works of science fiction, winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel (1966). In this thought-provoking classic, poet and starship captain Rydra Wong is recruited to decode an alien language being used as a weapon — a story that weaves together linguistics, identity, and the nature of consciousness itself. Delany\'s exploration of how language shapes reality remains as vital and dazzling today as when it was first published.
