This book is utterly exceptional. If you hate science fiction, let this be the one sci-fi book you ever read. A beautiful dive into (a)theism and one man's grapple with mortality and the human condition. Could not recommend this one enough!!

It's the best first contact book ever written, by far.

I don't read non-fiction. I don't read scientific books either. This one, though-this one is warms-my-heart-kinda-special, and all I hope is for the reader to find the same wonder in their life, that Carl Sagan clearly held in writing this book. It made me think; wow there's really people out there who LOVE what they do. He was so passionate about Space and what's there (or what's not). His enthusiasm in explaining this, made it one of my favourites.

Obsessed with this Chinese sci-fi novel right now.  It's putting to words a lot of the unavoidable existential dread that we're all trying to ignore.  I'm not usually a big fan of super hard sci-fi because I'm for the most part scientifically illiterate, but this book does such a good job of making physics poetic and kind of horrifying.

They all have such little sad boy names it's amazing. I know most people watch these and feel a wanton longing for what used to be, but for some reason it just re-instills in me that I am exactly where I need to be - that that sad teenager has evolved into a better person, and that makes me smile :) My favorite mixtape is linked, so good!
