Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science by Carl Sagan

3.0

This is really hard to rate because it reads more like a collection of essays than a book. I'd say a vast majority of it is about a 4 star read with two sections that really weren't doing it for me. It weirdly ends with Sagan talking about whether or not it's possible for us to remember our own births. I probably would have given it four stars if he hadn't ending on that note because that was a bit weird.

But I love Sagan's optimism for the future. I feel like reading this now, when everything feels like a complete dumpster fire, is really comforting. It's a nice reminder that the world still has potential and no matter how shitty things get science is still really freakin' cool.
