A journey through the evolving cosmos, considering how human
survival will depend on otherworldly perspectives. In David
Whitehouse's most ambitious book to date he explores how human
evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from
the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both
for the universe and for ourselves. Given enough time, Whitehouse
contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose
divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the
universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have
already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say,
Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in
2051. Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to
the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story
charts our future journey to the end of space and time, and
considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of
it all.
