Jim Al-Khalili
In these lively and fascinating essays, scientists from around the world weigh in on the latest advances in the search for intelligent life in the universe and discuss just what that might look like. Since 2000, science has seen a surge in data and interest on several fronts related to ET (extraterrestrials); AI (artificial intelligence); and SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence). The debate has intensified over whether life exists outside our solar system, what that life would look like, and whether we'll ever make contact.
Included in this audiobook are essays from a broad spectrum of the scientific community: cosmologists, astrophysicists, NASA planetary scientists, and geneticists, to name just a few, discussing the latest research and theories relating to alien life. Some of the topics include: If life exists somewhere in space, what are the odds that it evolves into something we would recognize as intelligent? What will space travel look like in the future, and will it all be done by cyborg technology? How long until we are ruled by robot overlords? (This is actually a serious consideration.) Are we simply a simulation in the mind of some supreme being acting out a virtual reality game?
For those who have ever wondered, Is there anybody out there? here are the latest theories and evidence that move us closer to answering that question.

Any additional comments?
.. a nice potpourri of ideas & approaches towards a the topic of "ALIENS" ( and LIFE in general !!! ) One Chapter ( I think it is #14) just killed it for me. I couldn't believe what I read /heard and after some fact checking I am convinced more than ever that we are alone.Paradigm Shift towards "We Are Alone"

The big question is...where did this all come from, smart people back track things using evidence dug up along with some smart science but what was here before the Big Bang and what made the Big Bang happen!?!? Who or what made space and everything in it!?!?
Space...................lots of space in space

I enjoyed the breadth of discussion that this variety of different voices brought to it, which brought to light aspects of the question that we often miss. There's lots of good science in it, presented in a way that an average person interested in this subject can easily grasp.
I also liked that there was not uniform agreement among the writers on every subject. These are real, working scientists, working through the issues they are presented with. These items are good pointers to where future research will be fruitful.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in science or wants to know more about what might be out there.
Great overview of scientific opinion on alien life
