SynopsisAre we on the brink of a new Dark Age of irrationality and superstition? In this stirring, brilliantly argued book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Dragons of Eden and Cosmos shows how scientific thinking can cut through prejudice and hysteria and uncover the truth, and how it is necessary to safeguard our democratic institutions and our technical civilization.

  • Demon haunted world a must read book.

    If one has wondered about carl sagen's works then this book is a must read. He rationalized the scientific research for those who have always wanted to explore our world in ways not taught in most academic settings.

  • Recomend it

    It's a interesting book and I think all people need to read in this show (pandemic) when people no think in science just fake news.

  • Excellent

    Sagan did forecast the present environment of Trumpist pseudopolitics and the dumbing down of citizens to disbelieve science and truth, he also forecast the de-industrialization of North America and this was written 25 years ago. Fascinating reading.
