Author Description

This book seeks to examine how these heavenly bodies influence and even direct various socio-cultural organizations of the people. These are quite evident in the various life cycles and beyond such as at birth, death, and even life after. The book is situated in the realm of cultural astronomy, which will examine the various cosmological beliefs that affect humans. From Plato and Ptolemy, Kant and Newton, to Kubrick and Serling, there has been a profound human desire to situate human destiny amidst the starry skies. But just what is our cosmic fate - spaceship earth or planet of apes, space odyssey or cyberspace, no exit or twilight zone - in a universe of the Big Bang, with the starry skies moving away?
