Media Reviews
"This short, fascinating book is for readers who enjoy thinking about the motivations and techniques of both those persons who sent messages from the past...and those who are sending messages to the future....You may not agree with all of Benford's ideas, but there's no doubt that a book like DEEP TIME will invigorate and inform your thinking."
