About the Author
Ian Watson was born in 1943. He lectured in Tanzania and Tokyo and taught Future Studies at Birmingham Polytechnic. He began publishing sf with 'Roof Garden Under Saturn' for NEW WORLDS in 1969 but it was with the publication of THE EMBEDDING in 1973 that he really established himself as a writer of rare power and vision.
From Publishers Weekly
British SF writer Ian Watson, author of the screen story for AI, crafts an intricate and elegantly written tale of a boy and some whales or, more accurately, a tale of defection, thought replacement and the death of the universe in The Jonah Kit. The boy, an escapee from a Russian research institute, bears the mind of a dead astronaut, a famous scientist claims to have discovered God's absence and whales learn the true nature of humans to devastating effect in Watson's terrible brave new world.
