Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A clever first-contact story from one of science fiction's sharpest observers of perception, communication, and human assumption. In Pictures Don't Lie, Earth receives signals from an approaching alien ship, including transmissions that seem to show friendly, humanlike visitors on their way to a carefully prepared landing.

Radio signals, images, expectations, and language all become traps when two intelligent species try to understand one another across an immense gap of experience. What appears obvious to one side may be dangerously misleading to the other, and the difference between seeing and understanding becomes the heart of the story.Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction in August 1951, Pictures Don't Lie shows MacLean's gift for compact speculative storytelling: witty, humane, and built around a scientific idea with real dramatic consequences.
