Carl Sagan is far ahead of modern people intellectually, yet the book isn't complex. While it's primarily for those interested in space, it offers important lessons for everyday life, particularly about belief, pseudoscience, and skepticism.

He probably would be aghast at what our social media driven world is like these days and how people get their "facts" and form their beliefs and opinions.

I would also recommend book Designed to the Core [amazon.com] by astrophysicist Hugh Ross, and his earlier books if you want to form a qualified opinion.

He knew it was coming. He wrote The Demon Haunted World too:

Quote :
Casting a wide net through history and culture, Pulitzer Prize–winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions. He examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies as witchcraft, faith healings, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning, with stories of alien abduction, "channeling" past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect.
