Book Review: A human life and mankind's future
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is set in the years 1998-99, and was written in the 80s buy Carl Sagan, an American Scientist who worked in the SETI programs. His book is first of all about the life of a women scientist, and her will to persue her goal. Making SETI servive. Ther are in this book tons of scientific and pseudo-scientific informations, and also theological debates. But don't worry there's a lot of simple human relations, that make us feel how prescious we all are to each other.Finally I'll say that the book and the movie have both their qualities, and I wish I had read the book before seing the movie.
My respects to Sagan's family and friends, and especialy to Alexandra, may our generation (20 in 2000) be worthy of Carl's legacy.
