Publisher Description
Scientist and acclaimed author Peter Watts’ Blindsight is fast-moving hard SF that pulls readers into a futuristic world where a mind-bending alien encounter is set to unfold.
After the Firefall in 2082, the prospect of Utopia in two years promptly took a back seat to the looming specter of Armageddon. It was official: an unknown alien intelligence had surveyed the entire planet in one spectacular light show. Now what?
In a world where an extinct race of vampires has been genetically revived, and ordinary human beings are inept at comprehending even a trickle in the vast information stream, all eyes are locked heavenward as a team of specialists hurtles outbound aboard the self-piloted spacecraft Theseus. Beyond Neptune, Theseus seeks a comet. But this is no ordinary comet: it has a heart of refined iron and has been observed pulsing an indecipherable signal into deep space … but to whom, or what?
