  • Notes:
    • Month of publication from Locus1. • Primary verification and correction of the contents: Locus1 somewhat misleadingly lists the five parts of the book as single pieces. These are ''Wiring the Abyss'' (pp. 17-106), ''Voice Across the Sea'' (pp. 107-150), ''A Brief Prehistory of Comsats'' (pp. 151-188), ''Starry Messengers'' (pp. 189-244) and ''Let There Be Light!'' (pp. 245-262). The Epilogue and the two papers as appendices in the end are separate. • Foreword signed "Colombo, Sri Lanka / 20 April 1991". • Full page photograph of Clark by Charles Adams on the back of the dustjacket. • "Jacket illustration by Steven Hunt/The Image Bank".
