Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan with The Parallel Book Club

“If we crave a cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal.”

The 20th century was ripe with scientific, philosophical and societal paradigm shifts. These shifts were greeted with surprise, shock, conflict, and eventual acceptance. “The wounds” that science has, “in its search for Galileo’s truths” yielded to human pride, and the irreversible acceptance of our reality acts as the central tenet of the book.

Carl Sagan, like a patient parent, takes us through our insignificance, and pacifies us with delicate care.

Join us for our first ever reading session with an audiobook narrated by Carl Sagan himself.
