Ben Moore

    Ben Moor je anglický komediální autor a herec, jehož dílo se vyznačuje surrealistickým humorem a originálním vyprávěním. Proslul svými rozhlasovými a divadelními hrami, které často přetváří do prozaické podoby. Jeho tvorba se pohybuje na pomezí absurdity a pronikavého postřehu o lidské povaze. Moorovy texty jsou plné nečekaných zvratů a hravého jazyka, který si pohrává s očekáváním publika.

      Neueste Forschungsergebnisse legen nahe, dass es allein in unserer Galaxie über zehn Milliarden bewohnbare Planeten geben könnte. Die wissenschaftliche Suche nach außerirdischem Leben ist dadurch zu einer ernst zu nehmenden Disziplin geworden. Doch wie viel können wir von unserem Beobachtungsposten auf der Erde überhaupt erfahren über diese fremden Welten? Könnten Menschen auf diesen Planeten überleben, und wie könnte „echtes“ außerirdisches Leben aussehen? Unsere Träume von Außerirdischen wurden durch Science-Fiction geprägt, aber sind diese Träume realistisch? Ben Moore nimmt uns mit auf eine atemberaubende Reise zwischen Wissenschaft und menschlicher Vorstellungskraft.
