Interstellar

<p><strong>The world's leading alien hunter </strong>--<strong> <em>New York Times Magazine</em></strong></p><p><strong>From acclaimed Harvard astrophysicist and bestselling author of <em>Extraterrestrial </em>comes a mind-expanding new book explaining why becoming an interstellar species is imperative for humanity's survival and detailing a game plan for how we can settle among the stars.</strong></p><p>In the <em>New York Times </em>bestseller <em>Extraterrestrial </em>Avi Loeb the longest serving Chair of Harvard's Astronomy Department <strong> </strong>presented a theory that<em> </em>shook the scientific community: our solar system Loeb claimed had likely been visited by a piece of advanced alien technology from a distant star. This provocative and persuasive argument opened millions of minds internationally to the vast possibilities of our universe and the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth. But a crucial question remained: now that we are aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life what do we do next? How do we prepare ourselves for interaction with interstellar extraterrestrial civilization? How can our species become interstellar?</p><p>Now Loeb tackles these questions in a revelatory powerful call to arms that reimagines the idea of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Dismantling our science-fiction fueled visions of a human and alien life encounter <em>Interstellar</em> provides a realistic and practical blueprint for how such an interaction might actually occur resetting our cultural understanding and expectation of what it means to identify an extraterrestrial object. From awe-inspiring searches for extraterrestrial technology to the heated debate of the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Loeb provides a thrilling front-row view of the monumental progress in science and technology currently preparing us for contact. He also lays out the profound implications of becoming--or not becoming--interstellar; in an urgent eloquent appeal for more proactive engagement with the world beyond ours he powerfully contends why we must seek out other life forms and in the process choose who and what we are within the universe.</p><p>Combining cutting edge science physics and philosophy <em>Interstellar </em>revolutionizes the approach to our search for extraterrestrial life and our preparation for its discovery. In this eye-opening necessary look at our future Avi Loeb artfully and expertly raises some of the most important questions facing us as humans and proves once again that scientific curiosity is the key to our survival.</p>
