The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Meh, i liked much of what this book had to say but much of the examples used and data provided are at this point 20-30 yrs out of date.

This book was published in 1995 and while the underlying concepts and message is very relevant with how much has changed over the past 25yrs its hard to say how the state of our education system now is relative to then.

As an example sagan laments the lack of science based educational media but today we have things like curiosity stream, numerous science baaed non fiction books, youtube science channels, many tv networks devoted to educational programming, improved science education in schools etc...

While there is for sure a segment of society that is willfully or otherwise ignorant of scientific literacy they are the small vocal minorty.

Overall I still enjoyed this book but for sure not feeling it much more than a 3
