Step into a classic of mid-century science fiction with A Is for Andromeda, the novelization of the iconic 1961 BBC television series created by acclaimed astronomer and author Fred Hoyle, co-written with John Elliot. This gripping tale of extraterrestrial contact, scientific ethics, and human ambition remains a landmark of speculative fiction.

The story follows a group of scientists who receive mysterious signals from the Andromeda Galaxy, containing instructions to build a supercomputer. What emerges from their work, however, may threaten humanity itself. Tense, thought-provoking, and eerily prescient, this novel raises timeless questions about technology, responsibility, and the unknown.

A new radio-telescope picks up from the constellation of Andromeda, two hundred light-years away, a complex series of signals which prove to be a program for a giant computer.  Someone in outer space is trying to communicate, using a supremely clever yet entirely logical method.  

As a seven-part serial on BBC TV, this story established popularity records.
