This is my favorite science fiction novel because it epitomizes all that is science fiction; the theory and imagination of what science can do, the discovery of intelligent alien lifeforms (everyone loves a good "first contact" story), the moral and religious debate which naturally arise in science and after reading it you are left to make your own decision about what you believe is right or even possible. Required reading for science fiction lovers!
