The quest to leave Earth behind
Discover the story behind the elite scientists, technologists, science fiction enthusiasts, and billionaires who believe that it’s humanity’s destiny to populate the stars.
Should humanity leave earth? Star Settlers traces the interest in space settlement through the decades, and offers a journalistic tour through the influential subculture attempting to shape the future. What motivates billionaires Elon Musk and Yuri Milner? How important has science fiction been in stirring enthusiasm? Is there a motivating philosophy behind the spacefaring dream? This timely work captures the zeal for space, places it in its historical context, and tackles the somewhat surreal conceptions underlying the enterprise and prognoses for its future.
