The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan

Jul 27, 2023: wow, given the current state of the world, maybe people need this book now more than ever

Oct 24, 2016: One of my friends got this for me for my birthday because it’s her favorite book. This is non-fiction and is basically a warning about the American public becoming ignorant and gullible. It encourages using a scientific way of thinking, finding your own truth, and finding a balance between wonder and skepticism.

This was very thought-provoking, and I’m glad I read it, but I feel bad because I honestly didn’t feel like I devoted the time I needed to really absorb all of Sagan’s points. I think anyone would benefit from exposing themselves to the ideas in this book. :)
