Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Looks at the history and work of SETI, on the 50th anniversary of its implementation. SETI - Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence - is a combination of science, technology, adventure and curiosity: since 1960, it has been eavesdropping on the cosmos. But what, if anything, has it heard? And how would we respond if SETI received a message from ET?

Publisher's description:

After millions of hours spent eavesdropping on the cosmos astronomers have detected only the eerie sound of silence. What does that mean? Are we in fact alone in the vastness of the universe? Is ET out there, but not sending any messages our way? Might we be surrounded by messages we simply don't recognize?
