The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark Audiobook (Free)

How can we help to make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we hardly understand the difference between the misconceptions of pseudoscience as well as the testable hypotheses of technology?

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the well-being of our democratic institutions.

Casting a broad net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks about The Demon-Haunted World: Science being a Candle in the Dark such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. Yet, disturbingly, in today’s so-called information age, pseudoscience is normally burgeoning with tales of alien abduction, channeling previous lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect.

Seeing that Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most elementary freedoms.
