Title: What a great book
Review: Contact is a great book that is completely satisfying in the end. I would not say that the plot is completely original but the themes are thought provoking.Does intelligent life exist outside the earth? That is not a controversy in this book because the book is one, fiction and second, SETI is really just a setting for the greater theme of faith, expansion of the mind, etc. It would be like arguing the historical accuracy of "War and Peace" when the real theme is the growth and changing of the human character.Sagan challenges the reader to think out of our own limited minds when dealing with expansive/infinite concepts like the universe or even God.
