Avon 1999 (1st ed). Half cloth with dust jacket, 225 pp.
Combining the logical rigor with the lyrical finesse of a novelist
, award-winning author Gregory Benford explores these and other
fascinating questions in this provocative analysis of humanity's
attempts to make its culture immortal. In Deep Time he confronts our
growing influence on events hundreds of thousands of years into the
future and explores the possible "messeges" we may transmit to our
distant descendants in the language of the planet itself, from nuclear
waste to global warming to the extinction of species. As we begin our
incredible journey down the path of eternity, Gregory Benford
masterfully calls forth some of the intriguing, astounding, undreamed-of
futures which may await us in deep time.
