The philosophical and religious implications of extraterrestrial intelligence are combined with an exploration of the scientific and technical implications. The book compares recent theories (e.g. 'rare earth') and takes a firm stance against pseudo-science.
This work serves as a reference concerning the automotive chassis, i.e. The first volume deals with the design of automotive components and the second volume treats the various aspects of the design of a vehicle as a system.
The scientific and technical aspects underlying the plot - in particular space travel, robotics and self-replicating spacecraft - are introduced and discussed by the author in an extensive non-technical appendix.
