CORRECTIONS: Sigh...[SAPIR-WHORF HYPOTHESIS first proposed in 1929 NOT 1960s]. At the end of the video I'm referring to DELANY not Zelazny....that's what I get for shooting videos late at night!
A review of Samuel R. Delany's, Nebula Award winning Science Fiction novel, 'Babel-17'. A vintage SciFi classic in the Space Opera genre. Babel-17 revolves around Cryptology, linguistics, and the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. And is the precursor to Cyberpunk with a trans-humanist theme far in advance of William Gibson's novel 'Neuromancer'.
