Life Beyond Us: An Original Anthology of SF Stories and Science Essays

0/5 ( ratings)

How would first contact—on earth, in space, on another
planet—transform our understandings of technology, philosophy, and
what it means to be human? What kind of cognitive dissonance would
society experience, if we discovered a previously unrecognized
sentience on Earth?

What would life be like if it originated in a frigid ocean beneath an
impenetrable shell of ice? Or on a world whose haze obscures any view
of the universe beyond? Or on an unfathomable scale in the depths of
space? Or . . .

Life—beyond us.

Dive in as the European Astrobiology Institute presents fifty-four
original SF Stories and Science Essays on life, from microbial to
macro, from automatic to sagacious. Each speculative story is followed
by a professional essay illuminating the scientific underpinnings of
the story and providing a new window into the cutting-edge knowledge
about exploration for life in the universe.
