This review is completely biased—I'm an enormous fan of Carl Sagan. He was one of the first science communicators I ever encountered, and since then, I've devoured Billions and Billions and The Demon-Haunted World. With each book, my love for astronomy has only deepened. This passion is entirely thanks to Sagan's brilliant and captivating writing. Each chapter offers a message, beautifully blending science, humanism, and a fervent hope for a better future. The last chapter is profoundly moving. I highly recommend this to everyone.

P.S. Hearing Sagan's voice in the first chapter almost brought me to tears at the start.
