Hi folks! Haven't been on here in a while.
I recently finished reading the book 'Contact'. I read the whole thing in about a week, I guess I couldn't put it down!
Let me start by saying it's a thumping good read. If you haven't read it and need something to occupy your mind, I would suggest it. Carl Sagan had quite a brain! His level of intellect and commitment to what he loved does not go unnoticed, and he gives the story a very deep human character. His interepretation of how the world's cultures would change, clash, and adapt in a time of ET contact is amazing. Whether you consider yourself to be religious or atheist, the book leaves you with a sense of profound comfort, and that there is a deeper purpose to the universe.
I was just curious what others think of the book, and perhaps how you interpret some of the major events. I realize however this is a spoiler.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
