Synopsis

Originality, excitement, pace and scientific accuracy. These are the elements of A For Andromeda, the product of a very successful collaboration between an astrophysicist of world-wide reputation and a talented dramatist whose work for British television has received the highest critical recognition.

Ten years from now, a new radio-telescope picks up from the constellation of Andromeda a complex series of signals which prove to be a program for a giant
computer.

When the computer begins to relay the information it receives from Andromeda, the project assumes a vital importance. For scientists find themselves possessing knowledge previously unknown to man, knowledge of such a nature that the security of human life itself is threatened.
