Cosmos: working notes, 1
One of the books and TV series I most admire, and which has had most impact on my life, is Carl Sagan's Cosmos. For decades I've had an instinct that I'd like to attempt something in the same general space (loosely speaking!). I've slowly accumulated related material, but never made concrete plans. In these rough working notes I collect some of this material. Much of it is fan commentary, thinking about things I especially like, and trying to understand how, if at all, they fit in. Long and meandering scratching around, but also: a genuine increment in my thinking about a possible project. Thoughtful comments and suggestions are very welcome!
