ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Peter Watts's Blindsight presents a first contact scenario. In the story, a crew of modified humans journeys aboard the Theseus to investigate an alien object dubbed "Rorschach". The crew includes a synthesist, Siri Keeton, who observes and reports on the mission. As they approach Rorschach, they encounter seemingly intelligent entities called "Scramblers" and face numerous challenges, including communication barriers and psychological disturbances. Blindsight explores themes of consciousness, intelligence, and the limits of human perception as the crew grapples with an alien entity that defies understanding. The story follows the crew's descent into madness and the disintegration of their understanding of reality. As the crew gets closer, they must confront their values and make difficult choices with far-reaching consequences.
