Billions and Billions - Carl Sagan

20 years later every warning we ignored is biting us in the ass and only getting worse

Books he wrote decades ago still blow our current celebrity scientists away.

Dude knew what the **** was up

Pretty much the only pop scientist worth anyone's time.

I love that scene so much. Immediately knew what you're getting at, when I saw the thumbnail.

Besides being incredibly articulate there’s a couple other reasons for that:

1) He worked on the Voyagers and the proof is in the pudding.
2) He stayed in his lane. These guys today are pulling **** out of their ass that’s as much mythology as science.

Excellent episode. Love it when he stands by the exit door and the wind blows his hair as he shouts "GO! GO! GO!" :D
Sagan was the ****. Dude got me interested in astronomy and space through the series "Cosmos", and best of all, he didn't talk down to his audience. Sadly missed.

I very highly recommend shadows of forgotten ancestors

I'll put it on my list. Is it available on Kindle?

Edit: shoot. No it ain't. :(

Finished War of the Worlds (it's really not that long) and now moving on to this, an examination of life in one of the worst slums in Victorian London. Only started and already it's harrowing. One line, I had to re-read, says "while the children played around the coffin of their recently deceased father". This is IN THE HOUSE THEY LIVE IN. Also, found out that the scumbag landlords who managed many of these tenements were dead at the time, so as the writer says, the slum was being run on behalf of and for the benefit of a corpse.

I'm a pretty basic bitch when it comes to my novel choices, but heres the a trilogy I started recently. I'm about 100 pages into the first book and it's getting interesting so we'll see if I stick with it..
