Beschreibung:
Fred Hoyle was one of the most renowned scientists of his generation, having served as the Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge University. He was the author of "The Black Cloud," "Home Is Where the Wind Blows," and "Intelligent Universe." John Elliot was a leading BBC television producer and a novelist.
Ten years from now, from the faraway constellation of Andromeda, a complex series of signals are collected which prove to be a programme for a giant computer. When the computer begins to relay the information it receives from Andromeda, scientists find themselves possessing knowledge previously unknown to man. Knowledge of such a nature that the security of human life itself is threatened.Not surprisingly from this collaboration between one of the world's most highly regarded astro-physicists and a talented dramatist, A for Andromeda is both a work of scientific interest and a story of originality and excitement. Though it is many years since the original BBC TV version starring Julie Christie had viewers enthralled, it retains its power to stimulate a new generation of science fiction enthusiasts.
