Gober’s latest book explores the phenomenon of extraterrestrial life. Not only are humans not alone in the universe, he asserts; we exist in a multispecies environment teeming with alien life that our eyes cannot perceive. Citing near-death experiences, UFO sightings, and more, An End to Upside Down Contact (Waterside Productions [1]) makes the case that it’s time to embrace our species’ enduring habit of sensing intelligent life beyond our borders — because the future of civilization may be at stake.
