Basically an anti-SETI diatribe by a know-it-all historian, featuring a recurrent theological presence, a questionable interpretation of the mediocrity (copernican) principle, and disparagement of such fine-brained people as Freeman Dyson, Philip Morrison, and Carl Sagan. When it comes to religion's "connection" with SETI, people like Basalla have it completely bass ackwards: It's *not* that SETI pursuers are engaged in a religion-like mission by seeking superior beings in the sky; rather it's that SETI detractors like himself evince ridiculous religiosity in postulating that Earth civilization is a unique creation. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In this fascinating history of scientific speculation about intelligent extraterrestrial life from Plutarch to Hawking Basalla traces the influence of one speculation on the next showing an unbroken but twisting chain of ideas passed from one scientist to another, and from science to popular culture.
