From the New York Times bestselling author of Extraterrestrial
comes a mind-expanding new book explaining why becoming an
interstellar species is imperative for humanity's survival and
detailing a game plan for how we can settle among the stars. In the
New York Times bestseller Extraterrestrial, Avi Loeb, the longest
serving Chair of Harvard's Astronomy Department, presented a theory
that shook the scientific community: our solar system, Loeb
claimed, had likely been visited by a piece of advanced alien
technology from a distant star. This provocative and persuasive
argument opened millions of minds internationally to the vast
possibilities of our universe and the existence of intelligent life
beyond Earth. But a crucial question remained: now that we are
aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life, what do we do
next? How do we prepare ourselves for interaction with interstellar
extraterrestrial civilization? How can our species become
interstellar? Now Loeb tackles these questions in a revelatory,
powerful call to arms that reimagines the idea of contact with
extraterrestrial civilizations. Dismantling our science-fiction
fueled visions of a human and alien life encounter, Interstellar
provides a realistic and practical blueprint for how such an
interaction might actually occur, resetting our cultural
understanding and expectation of what it means to identify an
extraterrestrial object. From awe-inspiring searches for
extraterrestrial technology, to the heated debate of the existence
of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, Loeb provides a thrilling,
front-row view of the monumental progress in science and technology
currently preparing us for contact. He also lays out the profound
implications of becoming--or not becoming--interstellar; in an
urgent, eloquent appeal for more proactive engagement with the
world beyond ours, he powerfully contends why we must seek out
other life forms, and in the process, choose who and what we are
within the universe. Combining cutting edge science, physics, and
philosophy, Interstellar revolutionizes the approach to our search
for extraterrestrial life and our preparation for its discovery. In
this eye-opening, necessary look at our future, Avi Loeb artfully
and expertly raises some of the most important questions facing us
as humans, and proves, once again, that scientific curiosity is the
key to our survival.
