After centuries of searching, we've discovered what could be life on Mars, but as technology sends probes deeper into space, will they turn up anything as smart as us? Is the reason we haven't found advanced life because we're too dumb and don't recognize it? This book is always funny, easy to read and keeps raising points that caused me to spend hours spacing out about ETs and what it would mean if they were discovered.
