The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

One of Sagan’s best works I’ve read. This book perfectly encapsulates the current disinformation environment that we exist today in. The endless conspiracies peddled by politicians and grifters have created a dissonance between science and the general public and Sagan not only had the foresight to predict this but also the tools to dismantle the rhetoric from our modern day charlatans. Highly recommend this book if you are tired of seeing people believe in all kinds of nonsensical conspiracies ranging from flat earth to anti-vaxx. This book shows you that you are not going insane, people’s capabilities to believe in the absurd knows no bounds but that is why keeping a clinical and rational mind is very important in these days.
