The meaning of language in this book matches the other complexities. One layer of meaning derives from the fact that the science fiction genre generates new words and concepts. So some meanings require the reader to extrapolate the meaning of making connections with concepts they already know. The use of more archaic language to reflect the social structure of the Empire may also challenge some readers. The last layer that affects the meaning of the text and the book itself is the main theme regarding the difference between information, context, and comprehending the meaning of language.
