Ansible
An ansible is a fictional machine capable of instantaneous or superluminal communication. It can send and receive messages to and from a corresponding device over any distance whatsoever with no delay. Ansibles occur as plot devices in science fiction literature.
== Origin ==
The word ''ansible'' was coined by Ursula K. Le Guin in her 1966 novel ''Rocannon's World''.〔Bernardo, Susan M. & Murphy, Graham J. ''Ursula K. Le Guin: A Critical Companion'' (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 2006), page 18.〕 Le Guin states that she derived the name from "answerable," as the device would allow its users to receive answers to their messages in a reasonable amount of time, even over interstellar distances. Her award-winning 1974 novel ''The Dispossessed'', a book in the Hainish Cycle, tells of the invention of the ansible.
