A review of Samuel R. Delanys, 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 Gibsons novel Neuromancer. Babel-17, GENIUS or just CRAZY ???](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bITbdL4E2aQ/mqdefault.jpg)
