Contact : a novel
by Carl Sagan.
New York : Simon and Schuster, c.1985.
“Beautiful astrophysicist Rebecca Blake deciphers long-awaited signals from space, persuades world leaders to construct a machine that many consider a Trojan Horse, and journeys into space for an epochal encounter.”
Contact is the only novel by the noted science writer and astronomer, Carl Sagan. It’s not surprise that the book is about many of Sagan’s key concerns: how science is done, how scientific findings can be communicated to non-scientists, the relationship between science and religion, the strange and interesting personalities of scientists.
