This book is the first non-fiction book I've read for fun in years, and it was INCREDIBLE. As someone who only has baseline knowledge of physics, space, and aliens, I found this to be an incredibly fun and honestly inspiring read.
In addition to learning about SETI and how the search for aliens is conducted keeping standards of evidence at the forefront of all research, this book shares stories of resilient scientists throughout history that refused to let the unknown remain unknown.
Adam Frank has a delightful way with words and I thoroughly enjoy Scott Parsons' narration (I listened to the audiobook, available on streaming). I look forward to reading/listening to other books of Adam Frank.
Extremely well-done.
