Book Review of Intelligent Life in the Universe

Intelligent Life in the Universe
reviewed on


This is a remarkably thorough updating and restatement of Shklovkii's "Universe, Life, Mind" w/ much new material added by Carl Sagan. Though published over 40 years ago it presents a much broader and more balanced exposition of cosmology than modern-day popular science accounts with their absurd pretence of explaining everything through garbled and mysterious references to pseudo scientific concepts such as "dark matter" and "dark energy", and the quixotic quest for a Theory of Everything.
