This anthology, with an introduction by Robert Silverberg, offers a sweeping survey of robots as depicted throughout literature. Since the Iliad—in which we are shown golden statues built by Hephaestus “with minds and wisdoms”—humans have been fascinated by the idea of artificial life.

I selected Francis Crick’s Life Itself to update, summarize, and expand, because he promoted the idea that DNA did not first evolve on Earth. If true, DNA’s alien origin would be one of the most important realizations in all human history.

This has been labeled as the “seeded hypothesis”.

For an update and summary, not a replacement, I selected Philip Corso’s The Day After Roswell because he promoted the idea that the Roswell crash not only happened, but that we appropriated sophisticated alien technology - and kept it all secret. If true, and because of our government’s nondisclosure of UFO facts, Corso’s intriguing story would be representative of one of the most important realizations - and biggest coverups - in all of human history.
