Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter
Categories: Science & Math
Neil deGrasse Tyson imagines what might happen if humans met an alien civilization, and what such an encounter would reveal about us. Tyson draws on science, history and popular culture to consider how aliens might look, communicate and behave, and how governments, religions and ordinary people might respond. He uses the thought experiment to reflect on human habits, beliefs and blind spots. The book was published in 2026.
