This book is utterly exceptional. If you hate science fiction, let this be the one sci-fi book you ever read. A beautiful dive into (a)theism and one man's grapple with mortality and the human condition. Could not recommend this one enough!!

I don't read non-fiction. I don't read scientific books either. This one, though-this one is warms-my-heart-kinda-special, and all I hope is for the reader to find the same wonder in their life, that Carl Sagan clearly held in writing this book. It made me think; wow there's really people out there who LOVE what they do. He was so passionate about Space and what's there (or what's not). His enthusiasm in explaining this, made it one of my favourites.

Obsessed with this Chinese sci-fi novel right now. It's putting to words a lot of the unavoidable existential dread that we're all trying to ignore. I'm not usually a big fan of super hard sci-fi because I'm for the most part scientifically illiterate, but this book does such a good job of making physics poetic and kind of horrifying.

this is one of tHE most captivating & compelling pieces of storytelling i've ever seen. it's multimedia speculative fiction about a distant future. it stars sapient space probes and an immortal and infertile human race, and explores their quest for fun to fill eternity. it's devastating and hopeful and i think it's maybe my favourite thing i've ever read, in both content and in form.

This is a game I play with myself when I'm done washing my hands at work. I'll see how far away I can shoot the "bathketball" (paper towel) into the garbage can. And yes I keep track of my stats (87% 3-point accuracy and have yet to miss a shot from mid-range)
