I've been doing SETI since my cousin Ashley set me up with it in 1999, and I'm obsessed with Carl Sagan and pretty much all of his books. I've finished Cosmos, Contact, Pale Blue Dot, and The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. I would also recommend checking out Robert Heinlein (Time Enough for Love, To Sail Beyond the Sunset, etc.) and Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon), who are also great sci-fi authors. But no one quite compares to Sagan. :)
About Me:
I'm 22 years old, have a B.A. from Boston University in English, Psychology and Art History. Currently working on an M.A. from New York University in Newspaper Journalism.
I've lived in Chicago, Tokyo, Miami, Boston, London and New York City (in that order). Currently in New York City, but looking to settle permanently in London in a few years. I'm also in love with post-Soviet eastern Europe that hasn't quite come around yet. |

I think the screenwriters of "Contact" say it better than I ever could:
"You know, there are 400 billion stars out there, just in our galaxy alone. If only one out of a million of those had planets, all right, and if just one out of a million of those had life, and if just one out of a million of those had intelligent life, there would be literally millions of civilizations out there." (Ellie Arroway)
"Well, if there wasn't, it would be an awful waste of space." (Palmer Joss) |
