The definitive novel on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
Renowned astronomer Carl Sagan’s international bestseller about the discovery of an advanced civilization in the depths of space remains the “greatest adventure of all time” (Associated Press).
The Plot The future is here… in an adventure of cosmic dimension. When a signal is discovered that seems to come from far beyond our solar system, a multinational team of scientists decides to find the source. What follows is an eye-opening journey out to the stars to the most awesome encounter in human history.
Why this is a sci-fi classic:
Written by an Expert: Authored by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cosmos.
Grounded in Science: Deals realistically with radio astronomy and the physics of space travel.
Philosophical Depth: Explores the profound questions: Who is out there? Why are they watching us?
🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken: "I recommend Contact not just as a novel, but as an inspiration. Sagan captures the feeling of looking through a telescope and wondering 'what if' better than anyone else. It's a perfect read for cloudy nights."
