If you are a sci-fi fan, you may find commentary on your favorite books and movies. She weaves together science and culture by locating the intersections of research, interviews, and data with pop culture and behavioral and social observation.
She considers other forms of life through the lens of language, animals, technology, and more.
The way Jaime organizes her book makes it easy for any reader to digest. I received an advanced copy for free and I'm leaving this unbiased review voluntarily.ĪTTENTION all science, sci-fi, and/or fascinating non-fiction lovers! I have a book that I guarantee will be a totally new topic to deep dive into for you OR a totally new way to view a subject you may already love! Jaime not only seeks to compile research and add commentary to the question, “Is there life beyond Earth?”, she challenges us to reflect on what that question and our search for the answers reveals about us as humans- no matter the answer. Overall a fascinating and educational read. If you have any interest in the possibility of life away from earth, astronomy or just a lose interest in science then this could be a book for you. This seems to be a rare occurrence in books of this type and makes this very book accessible to a wider audience, without its content being too watered down. I felt that the writing was complex but still fully understandable throughout.
Occasionally there were hand-drawn illustrations, which I found helpful in gaining a better understanding of some of the subject matter. I loved how Jaime Green gave a little background or history on each subject before elaborating on the possibilities of life existing outside of our planet and also its wider effect on humanity. The Possibility of Life reads like a history of the search for life within the universe and a guide to how or where it could possibly exist and our place within it all.
