This book was written by Sagan in the last two years of his life and is a masterpiece of Sagan's science thinking. Isaac Asimov, the famous American science fiction writer, once stated that Sagan was the most successful person in all of history to popularize science. He spared no effort in spreading the spirit of science and scientific thinking to the public by opening a window for the general public to understand the scientific world. He believed that science was not only a body of knowledge but also a way of thinking. Sagan believed that in a world darkened by the demons of pseudoscience and superstition, science is the candle that lights up the dark. Sagan believed that pseudoscience and superstition have infiltrated all aspects of human life, and if people do not discriminate between the various claims, then the whole society will fall into gullibility, ignorance and darkness.
He made great achievements in popularizing science, and science fiction, such as the classic 1997 movie Contact, which is based on his novel of the same name. Sagan was dedicated to scientific research and had a passion for popular science. The author of this book is Carl Sagan, a famous American astronomer, popular science writer and science fiction author.
