Until he rises to meet his fate and finds himself face to face with an evil far older, and far greater, than the Nazis themselves.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 10
World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits - self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics - are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 92
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

Behold the orphan. Born into a world that is not a world. A digital being grown from a mind seed, a genderless cybernetic citizen in a vast network of probes, satellites, and servers knitting the Solar System into one scape, from the outer planets to the fiery surface of the Sun. Since the Introdus in the 21st century, humanity has reconfigured itself drastically. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software.

What is holding humanity back, and what will propel us forward?
This seems to be the theme of the book, diving into humanities attempts at philosophy, theology and science; showing the beauty and flaws of it all.
Sagan seems to understand humanities need for a God and, like Nietzsche, suggests that humanity has outgrown the old Gods. And where Nietzsche places man’s individuality as the next God, Sagan places humanities coming together to pursue further insights into science and mathematics as the next God, suggesting that (*SLIGHT SPOILER*) God could have left a message for us somewhere inside the infinite digits of pi
The characters are great and it features many female roles, of which this feminism does seem to be a repeatably preached point throughout the book and I find Sagan tackled this issue in the best way possible so that it truly reveals the difficulties women could face in life, especially when pursuing careers in STEM fields.
The main flaw in the book is the actual “contact” moment. Which is a bit of a let down, but the journey there was so great that I still rate this an 8.5/10.
The “aliens” do seem to be an idealized humanity, a humanity we could reach ourselves if we follow a wholesome pursuit of scientific knowledge

Contact -Carl Sagan
The narration is beautifully done with a variety of accents to emphasize the different characters.
The amount of science specific nformation Carl Sagan is able to fit into his chapters is extremely well done. Many times it felt like reading passages from Cosmos or Pale Blue Dot. Coupled with a truly unique telling of the worlds first contact with intelligent life, I felt Carl dreamed himself the center of the entire story, replacing himself as an intelligent female character that educates individuals in stride while working to answer particularly hard answer. This telling was brilliantly done, and appeals to both educates of advanced science literature and those of lesser knowledge of such advanced topics.
Having watched the movie before the book, I felt I was listening to an entirely new take on the story. Many changes were noted from the film, but as always, the book blows the movie away.
An incredible story, this can not emphasize that enough.
Thank you Carl.

after seeing the film several times over the years I was expecting a good story. I was not disappointed. as is so often the case, the book has much more detail and a lot more scientific content. I highly recommend this audiobook. it is beautifully narrated and hard to put down.

Still great after all these years
I bought the book in paperback form when it first came out. Then the movie came along and was relatively disappointed at the changes and omissions. This audio book allowed me to enjoy the story again. I had to dig up my book from my dusty library to compare and verify that this was a word-for-word faithful representation and telling of the original. If you watched the movie but did not read the book, I suggest you either get hold of an actual copy or download this audio book. You will not be disappointed !

The story overall had lots of potential. Great idea. Great points of story telling. The backdrop was boring as f. Non stop rambling. Pointless text when more character building could have take place… and her mom sure is a peach…

The story, of course, is outstanding. The timbre of the reader's choice is quite pleasant and matches the time of the story well. The mispronunciations and overdubs are distracting and take away from the overall quality of the listening experience.
