    See You in the Cosmos


    Jack Cheng
    Informative about the Story
    It is a story revolves to a eleven year old Boy named Alex Petroski. A boy whose obsession
    with Carl Sagan and his Golden Record has led him to begin his own transcript meant for
    extraterrestrial life. Though the main premise of the story revolves on Alex’s journey to a
    rocket festival in New Mexico, as the book goes on, it becomes clear that Alex is on a much
    larger journey toward self-awareness, and his desire to escape is based on much more than a
    love of rocket science. The book begins with an introduction to Alex’s life in Colorado,
    where he lives alone with his mother. Alex has a dog named Carl Sagan after his hero. The
    story is told entirely through transcripts of recordings that Alex makes to create what he calls
    his “Golden iPod” – essentially, his version of Carl Sagan’s Golden Record, which Sagan
    launched into space as a means of possibly communicating with unknown alien life. Alex
    narrates the entire story, which he plans to then send off into space on the Voyager 3, a
    rocket he is building himself.
