Their divergent paths through the solar system take them past gas giants, icy moons, asteroid belts, and eventually into the unknown of interstellar space. There, they will continue to travel on forever, the fastest moving objects ever created by humans. The Voyagers carry a message from Earth, a phonograph record plated with gold containing 27 songs, 118 images, and greetings in 55 languages meant to summarize all life on our planet for the extraterrestrials who might one day encounter the crafts. \u003ci\u003eThe Voyager Record: A Transmission\u003c\/i\u003e is the record of that record: a history in fragments exploring how legendary astronomer Carl Sagan and his team attempted to press the entire human race into a single groove. Combining elements of poetry, flash fiction, and essay, Anthony Michael Morena creates a collage of music, observation, humor, and alienation. Giving the 38-year-old original playlist a B-side update, Morena's \u003ci\u003eThe Voyager Record\u003c\/i\u003e calls out to its namesake across the billions of miles of emptiness: \u003ci\u003eSend more answers.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose Metal Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941628041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 6.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anthony Michael Morena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45078711566517,"sku":"9781941628041","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3c7ea443-241d-4f74-8700-b7d8755236c9.jpg?v=1738681398","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-voyager-record-a-transmission-9781941628041","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
