3.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtful exploration of an unusual subject, 14 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I liked this book a lot for the thoughts it provoked as much as what it contained. The notion that we send messages across deep time whether we intend to or not is fascinating. I recommend this book for people who want to think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book., 3 Jun 1999
By A Customer
A very intriguing look at the complexities of communicating and preserving information over vast periods of time. Mr. Benford presents an unique, thought-provoking perspective on the subject... well-informed and unpretentious.

5.0 out of 5 stars very interesting look at the problem, 25 May 1999
By A Customer
This is a very interesting and informative look at the problem of communication and the ideas that have been spawned to solve such problems.

It is also an interesting look at how communications FAIL, even in the present. The look at the Cassini project's interstellar communication attempt is a very interesting study in how EGOs, INFIGHTING and POLITICS can derail even the best of plans.
