Cosmos by Carl Sagan

Cosmos by Carl Sagan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thoughtful, deep and poignant.

Began this with the print copy, then finished listening to Levar Burton read the audio book. It's a classic and worth reading. As a survey of science and speculation for the future, it's a valuable time capsule.

The poignancy came when listening to Sagan's speculation on Mars rovers, written when there were none (we'd only had fly by's and the Viking landers), as well as his speculations on finding extrasolar planets. At the time we'd really found almost none - and now we have hundreds!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great fun! History and mystery in Victorian England. Not *quite* steampunk, but a heroine enfused with rather modern sensibilities, and paired with a heroic partner.
