Synopsis

Cradle is a 1988 science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee. The premise of the novel is the contact between a few humans from the Miami area in 1994 and the super robots of a damaged space ship submerged off the Florida coast. Telecommunication advances such as videotelephones and highly efficient underwater scanning equipment used in the story bridge from the everyday, real-life aspects of the setting toward the near future, bespeaking technological progress.
