Synopsis

Are we destined for galactic greatness, or will the cosmos expose our fatal flaws? Stardust and Stewardship launches readers on a mind-bending exploration of the philosophical and ethical minefields we'll face as we step out into the universe.

  • The Great Silence: Are we alone in the cosmos, and what obligations does that bring?
  • Terraforming & Colonization: The ethics of making other worlds our own, and the dangers of repeating Earth's mistakes.
  • Humanity 2.0: Can – and should – we genetically engineer ourselves for life among the stars?
  • Cosmic Loneliness: How discovering our place in the universe might redefine what it means to be human.
  • Space Law: The urgent need for a new framework of planetary ethics.
  • Moral Rollercoasters: Analyzing potential dilemmas of first contact, resource conflicts, and the hard choices of the interstellar age.
Both thought-provoking and accessible, Stardust and Stewardship is a must-read for anyone gazing at the stars and wondering not just "What's out there?" but "Who will we become out there?"
