A review by addystape
Contact by Carl Sagan

5.0

I read this book at a time where I felt like some curiosity at my high school and at a time when I wanted to know all there was to know. I found this part of me reflected in Ellie and was happy to find a kindred spirit (although she was infinitely more talented than me). I think here Sagan is making the point that the discourse between religion and science need not be strained. There is some common ground in those in either camp who have an authentic desire to know share the same ends even if the means/methods/modes we have chosen are different.
