The story of a man's search for life elsewhere in the universe is told here by one of the world's most respected science writers. Ferris combines new discoveries about the origins of life as known on earth with recent revelations about the sun's planets and their moons in order to suggest possible abodes for life in this solar system and beyond. He explains why many scientists are convinced that life is abundant throughout the universe, and considers how, one day, radio telescopes may be used to connect humans with an intergalactic Internet and contact alien civilizations in the far reaches of the universe. Part I, "Are We Alone?," addresses the origins of life on earth and traces the search for life in other worlds. Part II, "Is Anybody Listening?," examines the strategies being used to communicate with fellow travelers among the stars.
