| "Enthralling ... It gave one the sense of being led very near to the brink of profundity, even revelation." Martin Amis |
Aliens arrive on Earth hoping to trade some of their advanced knowledge for insights into Earth's linguistic structure. "The Embedding" is the story of three experiments in linguistics driven by a searching analysis of the nature of communication.
