Visitors from other planets have long obsessed us. H.G. Wells' War
of Worlds spawned a huge wave of speculative fiction but the roots
of such fears run deep in our literature, where the mysteries of
other cultures have long threatened the familiar and the
comfortable. Did aliens build the ancient pyramids? do they live
amongst us today? what happens when they invade? And are they just
the people from the next valley? or country? or planet? Would it be
an inevitable act of aggression, one of assistance and care, or
simply a reminder of our paltry existence in a crowded universe?
