Özet
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Cosmos and renowned astronomer Carl Sagan’s international bestseller about the discovery of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization in the depths of space remains the “greatest adventure of all time” (Associated Press).

The future is here…in an adventure of cosmic dimension. When a signal from deep space is discovered that seems to come from far beyond our solar system, a multinational team of scientists decides to find the source. What follows is an eye-opening journey out to the stars to the most awesome encounter in human history. Who—or what—is out there? Why are they watching us? And what do they want with us?

One of the best science fiction novels about communication with extraterrestrial intelligence, Contact is a “stunning and satisfying” (Los Angeles Times) classic.

This was an amazing book combining science with fiction. I was totally unable to stop listening. Excellent narration by Laurel she added to the realism. I would highly recommend it as there is something to find for everyone.

What a triumph

One of the best books I have listened too, a classic and a work of art.

Yes, there is some technical phrasing and some science in this, I didn't understand it all, but there is no need to. It is all built into the story very well.

The characters are great, the narrator is great, the concept is great and the writing is great.

I think I have been clear, if you have any interest in sci-fi, start listening now.

Absolutely Epic!

This book feels as relevant today as ever and the authors wonder and optimism are contagious.

It’s hard to believe this was written in 1985

The narrator's impeccable reading style brought this great book to life. She breathed and became the characters, creating the illusion of reality, involving the listener in Ellie's experiences.

Fantastic delivery

While I’m well aware that this is a fictional story, I’m also very aware that the author is one of the greatest scientific minds and science communicators we’ve ever had. Carl Sagan is a name that is synonymous with anything related to space, he’s the reason we have another one of my idols doing the work he does today - Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Sagan is undoubtedly one of the brightest examples of bringing science and understanding to the masses.

In this book, it’s clear it’s written by someone who knows what he’s talking about. Many concepts are written about with the hope that the reader understands to a certain degree. It doesn’t necessarily go into detail on the topics that arise, but it does touch on them and treat the reader as an equal.

One thing I loved about this book is that it is written in the 80s but many of its themes and predictions are still true today - we learn of some of the struggles of women in science and that topic has been of issue today. The book explores the problematic course of disclosure to the public - what to tell them and how best to tread the line between religion and science. The book dives into the processes and gives a pretty decent behind the scenes look as to what goes into this sort of disclosure from the bottom up.

I especially liked that the book didn’t take a strong America / NASA first attitude. While it is set there in that surrounding, it’s very clear that nationality comes second to the human race. There is a strong unifying outlook in the book.

The ending, I expected something weak from what I’ve read of other reviews, and while it may pander a little to religious people, it is also open to interpretation and ultimately allows the reader to question what a higher power is to them.

I loved that we had a strong but flawed human female characters in a male dominant environment. For a book written in the 80s, Carl Sagan was very realistic (despite some wishful thinking) in now the real world be come the new millennium.

I really enjoyed this book and Laurel Lefkow did an absolutely wonderful job of performing it. She has a wonderful voice for audiobooks and she treats them and the individual characters with care and attention. I admire how she worked with this book and she really shone in the narrator role.

I’d 100% recommend this book for the insight and foresight given from someone ‘in the know’ as it does give some precious insight into how events would unfold, the scientific process and a good healthy dose of skepticism.

If you’re on the fence, give it a go!
