Book review
Cosmos
In brief
A brief response to Sagan’s journey through the universe, from its beginnings to black holes. A sense of awe, with reflections on the book’s continuing appeal despite its age.
Cosmos by Carl Sagan is one of those books that both awe and inspire. It looks beyond our daily lives, our politics, and spans from the start of the universe to the depths of a black hole.
The fun thing is that the book was published in 1980, and when I wrote this in 2019, I thought its basic ideas still held up, while recognising that many details were debated.
