The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan

5.0

---

Eloquent, passionate, at times angry - like Kurt Vonnegut's 'Armageddon in Retrospect', this is a final gift to humanity, from the heart, from one of our best minds. Carl Sagan makes a powerful case showing the many ways that irrational thinking and action, by individuals and by entire nations, has caused death, disasters, misery, and missed opportunities, and could yet become the means of our species' suicide. I wish that every high school student had to read and intelligently discuss this book to graduate, and every candidate for public office had to engage in public discussions and debates about its content.
