48 pages, 2021
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has grown in popularity in recent years, particularly since the Pentagon released its report on UFOs, or UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). In 1990, Frank White's The SETI Factor was published.
In it, he focused less on the technical aspects of the search and more on its potential social impact. Now more than 30 years later, many of his insights remain valid--even as a fascination with this topic has grown.
In this second edition, Frank looks at how this search has broadened and transformed our view of the universe, our planet and ourselves. He asks fundamental questions: What are the implications if there is no one "out there"? And what will be the impact if we contact extraterrestrial intelligence?
