Have you ever wondered what could happen when we discover another
communicating species outside the Earth? This book addresses this
question in all its complexity. In addition to the physical
barriers for communication, such as the enormous distances where a
message can take centuries to reach its recipient, the book also
examines the biological problems of communicating between species,
the problems of identifying a non-Terrestrial intelligence, and the
ethical, religious, legal and other problems of conducting
discussions across light years. Most of the book is concerned with
issues that could impinge on your life: how do we share experiences
with ETI? Can we make shared laws? Could we trade? Would they have
religion? The book addresses these and related issues, identifying
potential barriers to communication and suggesting ways we can
overcome them. The book explores this topic through reference to
human experience, through analogy and thought experiment, while
relying on what is known to-date about ourselves, our world, and
the cosmos we live in.
