Classic, Award-winning SF!
When the government approaches language specialist and poet Rydra Wong to crack the Invader code “Babel-17” she starts down a strange road to translate an elusive language. This is part space opera, part lesson in linguistics, and fabulous writing. Fans of sf hinging on language such as Snow Crash, Embassytown or Dispossessed should check out this 1966 Nebula winner.
