Contact - is there anybody out there ?
I’m 1/3 of the way through this read, which has been great so far. Familiar with the movie Contact and if I find a movie is good, I generally have a pattern of reading the book from which the film was adapted. Blends well with my current hobby of locating the planets within our solar system with my telescope and of course the star Vega (from which the Message comes from in the novel) with just the naked eye. Makes you wonder - is there anybody out there ?I’m 1/3 of the way through this read, which has been great so far.

Great sci-fi by a great astronomer! Plot summary Eleanor "Ellie" Arroway is the director of "Project Argus," in which scores of radio telescopes in New Mexico have been dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Before long, the project does, indeed, discover the first confirmed communication from extraterrestrial beings, a repeating series of the first 261 prime numbers (a sequence of prime numbers is a commonly predicted first message from alien intelligence, since mathematics is considered a "universal language," and it is conjectured that algorithms that produce successive prime numbers are sufficiently complicated so as to require intelligence to implement them). This plot element copies aspects from the opening chapter of Will Eisner's Signal from Space ... Great sci-fi by a great astronomer!

This plot element copies aspects from the opening chapter of Will Eisner's Signal from Space (1978).[citation needed] Further analysis of the message reveals that two additional messages are contained in different forms of modulation of the signal. The second message is a primer, a kind of instruction manual that teaches how to read further communications. The third is the real message, the plans for a machine that appears to be a kind of highly advanced vehicle, with seats for five human beings.

Excellent book!
This is an excellent book. I wanted to read it after seeing the movie. I found it interesting to read about issues that were important to Dr. Sagan. Written during the cold war, he illustrated the union and cooperation of all nations, in spite of their political differences. He also spend several chapters discussing how religion and science interact and how they can and should be compatible with each other. I also enjoyed the personal insights into the main characters. Excellent book, highly recommended.This is an excellent book. I wanted to read it after seeing the movie. I found it interesting to read about issues that were important to Dr. Sagan.
