About this listen
Carl Sagan, writer and scientist, returns from the frontier to tell us about how the world works. In his delightfully down-to-earth style, he explores and explains a mind-boggling future of intelligent robots, extraterrestrial life and its consequences, and other provocative, fascinating quandaries of the future that we want to see today.

“Magnificent.... Delightful.... A masterpiece. A message of tremendous hope for humanity.... While ever conscious that human folly can terminate man’s march into the future, Sagan nonetheless paints for us a mind-boggling future: intelligent robots, the discovery of extraterrestrial life and its consequences, and above all the challenge and pursuit of the mystery of the universe.” (Chicago Tribune)
“Go out and buy this book, because Carl Sagan is not only one of the world’s most respected scientists, he’s a great writer.... I can give a book no greater accolade than to say I’m planning on reading it again. And again. And again.” (The Miami Herald)
“Closely reasoned, impeccably researched, gently humorous, utterly devastating.” (The Washington Post)

loved the book and it's narration!!!
Carl Sagan's explanation of how he sees the passage of time on this Earth is incredible. His interruption on past beliefs of others is enlightening too.
Dion Graham's narration, with all his emotional backing, is utterly superb!!! You can feel all of what we'd expect if Carl Sagan had narrated it himself!!

Excellent but a little dated
Love Carl Sagan, but I can’t help but drop a couple of stars as the content becomes a little dated and therefore somewhat less interesting to read 40+ years later.
