Thanks Gleek - have read Asimov, bit it's been some years. About time to re-visit!
Carl Sagan's 'Contact'. If you've never read it then give it a go. Same lines - brilliant story.
If your up for a mindbending non-fiction, give Michio Kaku a go -

It is the most lovely listening ever!! Although I think the link goes to a transcript of the interview.... but even his hard-science-fact book are filled with concepts even the layman can grasp. Scintillating, honest!
