This confederation enforces a strict protocol forbidding any contact with civilizations that have not yet achieved both a substantial spacefaring capability and sufficient maturity to control the technology explosion before triggering their own extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cp\u003eWhile this policy is intended to only bring in peaceful new members, matters change entirely when the confederation is threatened by some unknown entity - is the menace real or imagined? The confederation decides to break with the rules and sends a delegate to Earth to hire one of the supposedly belligerent Earthlings to investigate and to revive the confederation’s long-unused starfleet. The Earthman agrees, but demands a high price: should he succeed, the confederation will have to accept Earth as a new member. As the threat becomes ever more acute, the question soon becomes which mission will prove harder - saving the confederation or convincing it to accept the deal!\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cp\u003eThe extensive appendix, written in non-technical language, reviews the scientific and technological topics underlying the plot - ranging from the Fermi paradox, space travel and artificial\/collective intelligence to theories on possible universal convergences in technological and biological development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783319211145\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Scientific Novel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783319211145","offer_id":39420374188125,"sku":"9783319211145","price":21.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/bbe5ce90-eab7-4740-a6b6-9feed4997fae.jpg?v=1777438267","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/a-man-from-planet-earth-a-scientific-novel-von-giancarlo-genta","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
