Blindsight by Peter Watts

Blindsight by Peter Watts

Sixty-five thousand objects burn up in the atmosphere simultaneously, photographing the earth. A ship is sent to the source with a crew including a linguist with four surgically induced personalities, a soldier wired into her weapons, a biologist with augmented senses, and a vampire — revived from an extinct human predator subspecies.

The narrator is a man whose hemispheres were separated in childhood and who processes people as systems. What they find does not want to communicate, and Watts builds towards the most disturbing idea in modern science fiction: that intelligence and consciousness are separable, and consciousness may be the expensive, useless one.

A Hugo nominee and a landmark of hard science fiction. Difficult, and worth it.
