Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CETI), edited by Carl Sagan, collects the proceedings of the first major scientific conference devoted to the search for life beyond Earth, held jointly by American and Soviet scientists at the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory in Armenia in 1971. Its participants, among them Francis Crick, Freeman Dyson, Frank Drake, and Charles Townes, debated the prevalence of planetary systems, the evolution and lifetime of technical civilizations, and the means by which contact between worlds might be attempted. The volume helped establish the search for extraterrestrial intelligence as a serious scientific field and remains a foundational document of the discipline.
