"Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds" by Benard le Bovier de Fontenelle

book review by Riley Burnham 8/29/2024

well... it's a load of horse-shit lol

written in the 1700s, this is a dialogue between the narrator & the female Marquise

he's essentially trying to blow her mind w/ heliocentric garbage, so we're led through page-after-page of seemingly false speculation regarding planetary motions, distances to stars, inhabited worlds, & more

​​​​​​​thankfully very short, i'd lump this in w/ generous sci-fi
