| Summary: | European Astrobiology Institutes presents fifty-four original SF Stories and Science Essays on “alien” life on Earth and beyond. Science Fiction stories by award-winning speculative fiction authors and accompanying essays by scientists working on the origins of life, habitability and life detection. What would life be like if it evolved in a cold ocean beneath an impenetrable shell of ice? Or on a world whose haze obscured any view of the universe beyond? Is there a common template for life, or can we expect to find preciously fragile silicon creatures drifting in seas of liquid nitrogen? How would finding alien life change our society? And many more. Take a journey to the strangest places on our own planet and far beyond it in the galaxy and worlds that are filled with speculative stories and also reflect our understanding and speculation of such places. Each story is followed by a science essay to support understanding of science, interest in the workings of nature and technology, and critical thinking behind such journey and topic introduced in the story. |
