Music obsession and space travel have to be two of my favorite things to read about, so when I received an invitation to read an early copy of this book I realized how accurate such metrics must be. In the midst of the Voyager missions, it occurred to Carl Sagan that a way to communicate to alien life outside of our solar system would be to install a musical disc on the spacecraft. This book details the people and the process involved in such an undertaking. This is not something that I had heard about prior to reading this book so I found it all immensely fascinating. The argument over what music to include feels very outdated (this was done in the 1970’s) but it was still an interesting endeavor to ponder and I enjoyed reading about the prospect. I received a digital copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
