Is SETI a genuine scientific research programme? The search for
extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has been given fresh impetus
in the last years of the 20th century following developments in
space science which go beyond speculation. The evidence that many
stars are accompanied by planets, the detection of organic material
in the circumstellar discs of which planets are created, and claims
regarding microfossils on martian meteorites have all led to many
new empirical searches. Against the background of these dramatic
new developments in science, David Lamb evaluates claims to the
contrary, and examines recent attempts to establish contact with
other intelligent life forms. He also assesses competing theories
on the origin of life on earth, discoveries of former solar
planets, proposals for space colonies and the consequent technical
and ethical issues. Most importantly he considers the benefits and
drawbacks of communication with new life forms - how we should
communicate and whether we actually can.
