and I am.
FUck, Sagan was a complete genius! we watched the original COsmos series several months ago after being completely let down with neil tyson degrasse's watered down silly remake of it.
i remember when it first aired! yeah, sagan, he kicks ass man! |
Definitely take the time to read it. Obviously it's fiction...but throughout the story you can see Sagan injecting fact-based ideas that could be plausible - if proven. I love some of the online discussions that the ending generated as to it being possible.
Without spoiling it - Sagan walked a tightrope between suggesting the universe was created by an unseen, omnipotent 'god'...or an advanced race of alien 'architects and builders'. He was a wise man - not wanting to piss off both the creationists and the evolutionists with his novel.
