Carl Sagan bares his soul the reader by detailing a world he desperately wants to believe in. Alongside James Cameron’s Avatar as the most stunning depiction of religion in sci-fi terms I’ve ever seen. 

But boy did it need to end like 50 pages earlier. I get it Carl! You don’t gotta explain subtext the way you explain science!
