APPEALS TO: SOME
Yang brings us a homage to Carl Sagan and his TV show Cosmos (not to be confused with Neil deGrasss Tyson’s later version). We see Sagan as a child, journeying through the microscopic and universal worlds on his ship Imagination.
Sometimes as adults we look at the passions of a child and think “Oh, they’ll grow out of that”. But maybe we need to be less skeptical and more encouraging, instead. Yang doesn’t say that, but that is how he made me feel. A short, quick read. Make sure you check out the case wrap.
