| Abstract: |
In Adrian Tchaikovsky's novel "Shroud," set in the far future, the story explores the concept of recognizing intelligence in alien beings and the potential for mutual understanding. The main characters, Juna and Mai, find themselves marooned on a moon named Shroud, where they attempt to communicate with alien creatures through mathematical sequences. The novel delves into themes of communication, perception of intelligence, and survival in an alien environment, offering a thought-provoking narrative on human-alien interactions.
