Negative Positive
Title: A book that stimulates the reader with visions of universe.
Review: In Contact, Carl Sagan deftly encompasses many facets of humanity. The reader picks up a mass of astrophysics effortlessly with Sagan's easy prose. The somewhat abstract concept of pi is explained and its significance as the universal constant is reveled at as the probable key to otherworldy contact. Other more earthly concepts are explored: secularity, adultery, love. When this book is finished, the reader has hopefully experienced a minor epiphany, as the wholly remote idea of the universe and its properties are boiled down into an engaging story. This book is a different body from the movie, but both stand alone as excellent works of science fiction.
