When I sat back and thought about the last time I genuinely enjoyed an educational book, I realized that it has been a very long time. Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars by Lee Billings is the one book that I have really enjoyed in a while. This book reads like a novel, but if full of facts and interesting information. Billings wrote this book in order to explain his life long love and interest in figuring out what else was out there. Whether it is aliens, other worlds, or life outside of our planet, Billings has been working with numerous people over the years to discover these things. Billings refers to the Earth’s first five billion years as being in solitude because to our knowledge, we are alone in this universe. This book details the hopes and search to make sure that our next five billion years is not as solitary. Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars immediately grabs its audience by suggesting the prospect of discovering life on other planets. Due to the topics nature being the premise of millions of books, television shows and movies, the possibility of other worlds being out there is very intriguing. The main goal of Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars by Lee Billings is to explain the quest for more information about â€Å"exoplanets† and the handful of people who devote their lives to finding them.
