Immensely interesting story about finding a new planet with life on it, going there, discovering and influencing life as is. Nothing is as easy as it first seems.

It is about language being an importan part of culture, but that hides and hints at cultural depth. 

But it is also about what it is to be human and about faith or lack thereof.
