Perhaps better titled Aliens In Pop Culture: A Review, this short book is disappointing in its lack of serious discussion of extraterrestrial life, its probability, and its possible paths of evolution. Although Dr. deGrasse Tyson does tip his hat at those subjects, it doesn’t take long before he diverts the discussion towards The Day The Earth Stood Still, The War Of The Worlds, E.T. the Extraterrestrial, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, and even the as of yet unreleased Disclosure Day. Thank goodness for Steven Spielberg, for without whom this book would have been a pamphlet.
