      abstract = {Scientists have been searching for signals from  extraterrestrial civilizations since Frank Drake's first  radio survey in 1960. But what would actually happen if  SETI's search succeeds? Is there any way we could even make  sense of the signal we receive? Written by an expert in  communication systems and translation technology, this book  explores the science of interstellar communication. It  explains how this process may unfold, how an ET  communication link would work, the types of information it  could convey and how professionals, amateurs and ordinary  people like you would participate in the effort to  understand what another civilization has to say. Along the  way, the book introduces readers to many aspects of  modern-day communication systems and computing. Featured as  well are dozens of illustrations, photos and real-world  examples, rounding out this compelling foray into the  mechanics of interstellar communication.},
