A review by showell
Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany

4.0

I’ve never read a book that employed principles of linguistics in this way. My daughter informs me that some of the theories are outdated now (no surprise, the book is from the 1970s), but still a fascinating device for understanding character. In other ways this book felt very seventies, the night out to find the crew in particular, but overall a really interesting listen.
