Review of 'Babel-17' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I read this immediately after "The Stars My Destination" which made for something of a change of pace. Babel-17 explores the impact of language as a weapon, past the ideas of propaganda, and the way languages effect people. Delaney spins a rich science-fiction web including ideas on genetic splicing, travel, and telepathy.
