【Content Introduction】
By chance, scientists discovered a neutrino letter from outer space, which may be a symbol of intelligent life. We don't know who the sender is, so how can we interpret the content of this letter? What if we can't even be sure whether there is a sender? The story of "The Voice of the Lord" revolves around the mystery, which is more exciting than many adventure novels. In particular, the battle with the unknown inspires thinking about basic questions such as the nature of the world, human nature, and why life is flawed.
【Media Recommendation】
Lem has a truly unique imagination. His works have a deeper description of the relationship between man and the universe. Compared with American science fiction, they are more refined in literature, have a deeper artistic conception, and bring more aftertaste and thinking.
——Liu Cixin
If we can't find aliens, it may be because our understanding of alien life is that they are all human.
——Leung Man-tao
Lem always manages to mock our lives at their core. He can cook together scientific papers, folk tales, fables, myths and legends, and use humorous and powerful absurd language and absurd plots to reflect our world.
——Wu Yan
He is one of the wisest, most learned, and funniest writers alive today.
--Anthony Burgess
Whether it is the control of language, imagination or the method of shaping tragic characters, it is all excellent and no one can surpass it.
--Kurt Vonnegut
Our tired universe pales in comparison.
—The Washington Post
A giant of science fiction who ranks alongside Arthur Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick.
