“The world's leading alien hunter” — New York Times Magazine From acclaimed Harvard
astrophysicist and bestselling author of Extraterrestrial comes a mind-expanding new book
explaining why becoming an interstellar species is imperative for humanity’s survival and
detailing a game plan for how we can settle among the stars. In the New York Times bestseller
Extraterrestrial Avi Loeb the longest serving Chair of Harvard’s Astronomy Department
presented a theory that shook the scientific community: our solar system Loeb claimed had
likely been visited by a piece of advanced alien technology from a distant star. This
provocative and persuasive argument opened millions of minds internationally to the vast
possibilities of our universe and the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth. But a crucial
question remained: now that we are aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life what do we
do next? How do we prepare ourselves for interaction with interstellar extraterrestrial
civilization? How can our species become interstellar? Now Loeb tackles these questions in a
revelatory powerful call to arms that reimagines the idea of contact with extraterrestrial
civilizations. Dismantling our science-fiction fueled visions of a human and alien life
encounter Interstellar provides a realistic and practical blueprint for how such an
interaction might actually occur resetting our cultural understanding and expectation of what
it means to identify an extraterrestrial object. From awe-inspiring searches for
extraterrestrial technology to the heated debate of the existence of Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena Loeb provides a thrilling front-row view of the monumental progress in science and
technology currently preparing us for contact. He also lays out the profound implications of
becoming—or not becoming—interstellar in an urgent eloquent appeal for more proactive
engagement with the world beyond ours he powerfully contends why we must seek out other life
forms and in the process choose who and what we are within the universe. Combining cutting
edge science physics and philosophy Interstellar revolutionizes the approach to our search
for extraterrestrial life and our preparation for its discovery. In this eye-opening necessary
look at our future Avi Loeb artfully and expertly raises some of the most important questions
facing us as humans and proves once again that scientific curiosity is the key to our
survival.
