The Eerie Silence: Renewing Our Search for Alien Intelligence Audiobook

" A bit dry, but an interesting reassessment of what SETI is and should be. Did I mention it was dry, though? "

" Good overview of the search for other intelligent life in the universe. Good, interesting read. "

" Best overview of the SETI project, mostly critical of it but Davies also provides a long list of unexplored fields of research. Probably the most interesting point he makes is that if we find life abundant in the universe but no advanced civilizations then we are almost certainly doomed. "

" A nifty deconstruction of SETI with some ideas on how to better do the job. A good read. "

" Filled me with awe and wonder. "

" I enjoyed this one. Davies covered many points of veiw on how likely it is that other life is out there, and what it could be like. Some of it was very speculative and imaginative. "

" Woo science. Kind of a convoluted path to the main subject matter, but the detour is worth reading. The author packs hundreds of interesting facts and stories into this book. I may be a radio frequency geek, but this was a good book, I think, for everyone. "

" It was pretty good... Davies tends to digress off in multiple directions, but you don't mind when it is good. "

" Brief review to come. A spirited, engaging read, and not just because it talked about the Mekons. "

" A good read for anybody interested in the SETI projects. Davies makes some interesting points as to how our search methods are flawed, and what we can do to improve them. "

" Paul Davies is one of my favorite science authors, and always provides a balanced view on topics that are often contentious. In spite of the theories about Area 51 and the probabilities of life on other worlds, where are they? So many possibilities, explained quite well by Davies. "

" Unfortunately I didn't finish this book which doesn't hapen to me very often. Although the author was wicked smart, the massive amounts of info blew my mind. A little too deep for but a very fascinating subject. "

" There's is not so much to say about aliens in scientific terms. Davies presents in this book some interesting speculations based on what science has discovered so far. His conjectures are intriguing and as realistic as possible. Very nice book indeed. "

" A very interesting look at alien life, if it exists and what form it may take. I like this because it realistically looks at how alien life might exist in the universe, and the slim chances that it may be intelligent. Reads easily. "

" Davies isn't the happy optimist, but his thinking is incredibly forward and objective. He's got great points and will more than likely change the way you think about SETI. If you think about it at all. Which, I'm sure most of you don't. But, I'm a dork, what can I say? "

" Good overview of the search for other intelligent life in the universe. Good, interesting read. "

" Both Davies and Shostak agree that anything past us has hit ' post-biological ' a long time ago ( so what we're looking for are machines ) He also agrees that sending signals ( METI ) is a very bad idea. ( But you can't stop anyone with the capabiliy to do so from doing it ) "
