Contact by Carl Sagan

Contact by Carl Sagan

Ellie Arroway runs a radio telescope array and picks up a signal from Vega — prime numbers, then a repeat of the 1936 Berlin Olympics broadcast, then a set of engineering plans for a machine nobody understands.

Sagan was an astronomer and the science is exact, but the novel's real subject is what the discovery does to everybody else: the religious movements, the governments arguing over who builds it, and the question of what would actually count as evidence. The conversation between Ellie and a Christian broadcaster is the heart of the book.

The only novel Sagan wrote, later filmed with Jodie Foster. Rigorous and unexpectedly moving.
