Who could be better qualified than the author of the highly successful Cosmos to turn the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence, and humankind's first contact with it, into imaginative reality? "Contact deals with issues...worth pondering.The range and depth of ideas is quite uncommon" (New York Times Book Review). Made into the film bearing the same name directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, James Woods and Tom Skerritt.
