Genius is one of those words that is overused. It seems like it just does not take much effort to qualify for such an honorific these days. However, there are those who truly deserve the title and, of these, Stanisław Lem is certainly one. His Master’s Voice is a powerhouse of philosophy, effortlessly weaving atomic age rhetoric together with high concept, hard science. The questions and answers pondered in this work trigger shift after shift of one’s paradigm, to the point that it is quite impossible to see the world the same way after turning the last page. While the lack of hard hitting plot points and extremely dense prose may not appeal to all, this book’s through-line has more utility and applications than a Swiss Army knife. Lem has constructed a true work of genius with His Master’s Voice, a work that could only have been conceived by a true master of the craft.

Excelent and entertaining

I think this is a very refreshing piece of scifi. Sure, the story sometimes drags with intense bouts of reasoning but overall it really stand out as unique.

Refreshing

Really interesting ideas! If you like The Expanse or Yuval Harari, you'll see an exploration of similar themes but in different scope and depth. The format (the musings of an academic on a paranoid Cold War American project to decipher a possible SETI signal) means you get a lot of imaginative thinking and intriguing possibilities, and not much plot development or action. If that's your cup of tea, you'll love it. If you're in the mood for a pulse-pounding space opera, this won't scratch that itch.

Great exploration of culture and tech interplay

Definitely more of a thoughtful book, with a tour de force exploration of a wide range of problems in ethics, philosophy, and antropology, and methodology of science.

Still it has enough plot to keep going without turning into a textbook or a series of lecturs on these subjects.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I think the ending could have been a bit stronger.

Thought >>> Plot, in a good way

While this is a must-read for hardcore fans of the first-contact genre, there's little here apart from the core idea; it's a great idea, but this novel would have been better as short fiction.

Stunningly intelligent; far too long.

I read Solaris over a decade ago and loved it, but haven't read anything else of Lem till now. I'm happy I broadened my horizons, this novel is a thought provoking philosophical mass about the nature of human consciousness. It's not for everyone, but those minds who have the inclination to enjoy both the ingenuity and futility of the revelations put forth by science and rationality, will delight in this rebellious novel that predicts a lot of the current conflict with AI technology over half a century ago. What a remarkable writer this guy was.

Second book I read of Lem, a pleasant surprise

Any additional comments?

This is by far the best book of Stanislaw Lem and to me the best SCI-FI book in general.
One can think of it as a anti-Contact from Carl Sagan. Although there is not much action here, Lem manages to tell an interesting story and push his ideas about how small and silly we people are in face of real problems and storyteller communication.
The book is hard to read (listen) but it leaves you with a seance of real discovery once you're done. Your views on humanity will not be the same ever again.

Forbear the first few chapters; later on you’ll see their utility. An extremely engaging hypothetical situation that - who knows? - may become a real one any day…

Amazing insight for its time
