Are We Alone?

When Stanley Kubrick was working on the development of his classic movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey", he arranged that 21 of the leading scientists in the world be interviewed on film. This collection of those interviews represents scientific, philosophical and ethical considerations of the implications of the possibility of other forms of life.

"It's reasonable to assume that there must be, in fact, countless billions of such planets where biological life has arisen, and the odds of some proportion of such life developing intelligence are high. Stanley Kubrick (1968)"

Anthony Frewin, who was Stanley Kubrick's assistant for over twenty-five years, has provided a comprehensive Introduction, a bibliography and notes to all the interviews which both contextualise and up-date the originals. Are We Alone? is an engrossing and fascinating collection of essential contributions to one of the great unanswered questions of our time: Is anybody out there?
