A new radio telescope picks up from the constellation of Andromeda a complex series of signals which prove to be a programme for a giant computer. After the computer is built it begins to relay information from Andromeda. Scientists find themselves possessing knowledge previously unknown to mankind, knowledge that could threaten the security of human life itself.

This book was just phenomenal, mostly. I learned of it through Richard Dawkins, who recommend it as a great and realistic alien-contact novel and it turned out to be just that. The story is dominated by believable characters (scientist!) who are trying to make sense of an alien message received through though a new massive radio telescope. It also highlights the greed of human leaders for technological advances without thinking of the possible consequences for humanity as a whole. The plotline w..more
A for Andromeda is a tantalizing cocktail nibble for everyone’s inner nerd: a high-calorie concept wrapped in just enough story to get hold of.
Chew on this: the bugaboo with space conquest is distance. How does any sentient being go to or from, say, a planet in the constellation Andromeda, 200 light years away, and arrive in any kind of shape to conquer the local populace? First, even at the speed of light, you have to be on the battle wagon for 200 years. Life expectancy and logistics issues..more

I learned about Fred Hoyle from reading George Gamow's work on cosmology as a kid and, being a science fiction fan, picked up those of Hoyle's books I'd find at used bookstores.
Hoyle is not a great writer, his prose being pedestrian and his characterizations weak. His books are more vehicles for his scientific speculations than works of literature.
Of the Hoyle novels I've read, A for Andromeda is one of the better ones. I have never seen the television serial.

You know how Fred Hoyle's Black Cloud is a fantastic and interesting hard scifi book? This is nothing like that. It is a sloppy, boring, linear and shallow disaster that reeks of missed opportunities and dubious ideas about artificial intelligence and alien life.
I can't imagine a less exciting portrayal of receiving intelligible communication from a different galaxy. Any sciency details (which I've enjoyed the most in Black Cloud) and descriptions of the nature of the code or how it is decrypted..more

I love vintage sci-fi, especially when the story is placed in some indefinite future, but has the poor humans using archaic, outdated technology (in this case computers that use punch cards{Kids, if you don't know what a computer punch card is, Google it}) to defeat their powerful alien enemies.
This is a good science fiction story, as it uses both technology and human nature to resolve a problem. The characters are believable (not too knowledgeable and not too stupid) and act like real people wo..more
A for Andromeda is a now-lost television series from the fifties. It was re-made a few years in an interesting BBC adaptation, which, in spite of some pedestrian interims between scenes, managed to capture many of the interesting ideas of Fred Hoyle and John Elliot's work.
Briefly, the story involves a message from outer space, which is deciphered by a talented, but temperamental British scientist, Fleming. It provides them with the blueprint to build a computer and even an organic life-form (hum..more

Expected STAR WARS and what I got was all about the evolution of Human Relations. Sir Fred Hoyle, through the charachters of the story, shows that nothing can be bigger or greater than the emotional bond between two individuals. That ultimately even machines evolve into humans by developing FEELINGS which are so very human. So may be our species is one of the most evolved living specimens in the universe and all Machines however technically advanced they may be - if they have to evolve into high..more
Interesting science fiction, not so compelling storytelling. I coincidentally read it immediately after a reread of Contact, and it's surprising how similar the beginnings are - I think Contact takes the initial premise and develops it in a far more interesting way.
If you haven't fallen in love with Andromeda by the end of the book, you have no heart.
May 06, 2019Richard Palmer rated it it was amazing
An exciting and plausible sci-fi gem from the early days of space exploration and the Cold War.
I probably should more correctly give this four and half stars but as that option isn’t available, good old Sir Fred can have all five for this cracking little tale about our first contact with the aliens.
Distant messages from outer space lead to the construction of a super computer with potentially catastrophic consequences. Ok it’s no longer the most original idea out there and it’s very much a prod..more
Nihilistic. Superficial and unlikable characters with no understanding of why they do anything. Like trying to empathize with the balls in a pinball machine.
The fundamental science fiction vehicle is acceptable and reminded me of Sagan's Contact. I like to think that was Hoyle's contribution. The pretentious British sensibilities made it feel like a stage play and I presume that's Elliot's contribution.
Aug 04, 2017Joseph Carrabis rated it really liked it
A for Andromeda falls into a class I'd call British (science) Fiction. The writing style and storytelling are obviously British in tone and how the story is developed. The story is also from the 1960s or so, so the science is a bit dated and the political bias is evident. That aside, it's still a good read.
By the man who coined the phrase 'Big Bang' in derision of the theory that faced off the Steady State theory of the universe, I did like this book - I suspect it influenced Carl Sagan when he wrote 'Contact'.

Shelves: well-defined-characters, science-fiction, strong-opening, brisk, page-turner, engaging-prose, weak-ending, 3-stars, what-if, disappointing
A dull, small tale told, paradoxically, with exceptional skill. Even though nothing much seems to happen or matter, it's always engaging. Perhaps as a result of its radio and TV origins, the scale is small and the sets repetitious, but the characters are well drawn, and give dialogue that doesn't feel cliched. The starting premise (what if the signal in Contact was sent by nefarious aliens?) is fascinating and promises so much potential. The potential never pays off - the novel doesn't even have..more

I have been recommended many times this book.
However I am deeply disappointed by it.
Oh, yes, the idea is interesting and quite good.
But I hate how lazy the writing ended. We had this insane buildup about humanity, life, intelligence and dominance.. and then.. yeah, conveniently kill of the loose end, because why not pull some random action out of nowhere. Yeah.. quelle original.
I also disagree mightily on the idea of intelligence and that every intelligent from will try to destroy other intel..more

I found its Romanian translation at home, not knowing the background story and how it came to become a well known 60's S.F. tale. Fred Hoyle was a well known astronomer from Cambridge, enamored with the science fiction stories of his time. In this book - wrote after a BBC TV series partly lost now, the author brings forth some ideas well ahead of that time: computer programming, DNA, A.I., extraterrestrial contact. It all seems bland and simple today, but on those years, these ideas were still o..more
Feb 09, 2015Radoslav rated it it was ok · review of another edition
The idea is fascinating and I was hooked by it even before I started reading. I am a slave to those mystery sci-fi plots and that is what kept me going thru the pages.
The writing leaves a lot to be desired though. The point of view is jumping from character to character or from place to place without any coherence or explanation. There is no peek inside the mind of the people nor the alien. Everything is happening so fast, as if the author is afraid readers will lose interest.
At the end I am l..more
This was a strange one. Picked up because I had been recommended a book with Andromeda in the name and couldn't remember which one! Genre wise this was a bit of a curveball as it can't decide which it is; sci fi or cold war thriller. The cold war style politics make it a slow start as the scene is set and make it hard going but in the end the sci fi wins out with the last couple of chapters leaving some wonderful moral questions as well as an exciting conclusion. As always with a book of this ag..more
Suppose you wanted to inhabit another world but the cosmic distance rules out any possibility of crossing the immensity of space, in this case as far distant as a star in the constellation of Andromeda. In this book it is from there that a message is received, a message to intelligent minds, to build a machine. The second message is the programme. The outcome.. The creation of a biological entity. Is it for good.. or invasion by proxy. Hoyle as always is decades ahead of his times. The concept..more

Hoyle was the astronomer who coined the appellation 'Big Bang'as a way to depict the dynamic origin of the universe.
In this story there is a message received from the Andromeda Nebula that decodes to give us the instructions to build the machines to receive messages more clearly. These instructions are how to build the machines to synthesize a life. Then another human in appearance that comes to be called Andromeda for the origin of the message.

Neat premise: a radio telescope picks up a signal from the stars, which turns out to be translatable as instructions for building a computer, as well as a program to run on it. The computer is, of course, an AI. Charming antiquated tech (punch cards!) and even some okay female characters (passes the Bechdel test).
Apr 14, 2015David R. rated it really liked it
I last read this many, many years and even then that came decades after the book was released. It is a bit dated now (computer technology is many leaps more advanced) but the essential thrill of horror remains. It's amazing what can be done well with fewer than 200 pages!=
Great concept, engagingly written - all the more intriguing for being written in 1962 with the dated but familiar mannerisms and emotional style befitting the time. The breadth of events is rather rushed through in the 174 pages but it is pretty gripping stuff all the same.
This classic Sci-Fi has a historical (1960s) perspective. Remember when Sci-Fi was about human struggle to improve our species and reach out into the vast beyond? Much of Sci-Fi today ma be about man's fellow-destruction. see: 'curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal'
This book is essentially about the space recipe for making hot women in a laboratory. I read this as a teen ager when I thought science fiction meant the story was half true.
A very different take on 'Alien invasion'.

A classic sci fi novel of alien invasion. I read many years ago and discovered again. Enjoyed both times.
A fine example of mid-century sci-fi, and a good read. Excepting, of course, the horrid, visually offensive typeface and paper in this particular edition.
