Der humanistische Buchclub: Carl Sagan, „Contact“, 1985

The humanist book club: Carl Sagan, "Contact", 1985
Right on trend and at the same time tried and tested over the centuries: the Düsseldorf Enlightenment Service is launching its own book club! Whether fiction or non-fiction, we talk and discuss books we've read, share favorite quotes and pick apart theses.
We meet every two months on Sundays at 6 pm in the rooms of DA!, Ackerstr. 23 / Hinterhof. (Drinks: bring your own).
At the beginning, all participants can suggest a book to be discussed at the next meeting. We decide together and also announce the upcoming book title in the newsletter so that new interested parties can join in at any time. We then focus on the book of the day. For the first meeting on November 16, we have chosen "Contact" by Carl Sagan:

"Contact" by Carl Sagan is a science fiction novel that tells the story of Eleanor "Ellie" Arroway, a scientist searching for extraterrestrial intelligence. After she receives a mysterious signal from Vega containing blueprints for a machine, a journey begins that interweaves science and religion, belief and disbelief, humanity and the cosmos. "Contact" is a novel that goes beyond the science fiction narrative and addresses themes such as the search for truth, the importance of faith, the power of science and the wonders of the universe. The book was made into a movie starring Jodie Foster.
Meeting point: DA! - Ackerstr. 23 / Backyard | 40233 Düsseldorf
