AppleyardBefore science and technology took hold of our lives we called them different things: angels, demons, fairies. But in a world in which man has discovered his cosmic insignificance, our need for aliens has reached the stars - and our search for them has drawn our gaze upwards rather than to the bottom of the garden. Since 1947 (Year Zero in the modern history of alienology thanks to a flurry of activity from the first sighting of a 'flying saucer' to the infamous Roswell Incident), there has been a deluge of sightings, abductions, cover-ups, conspiracies and all their associated sub-plots from cattle mutilation to anal probes. Science fiction both on the page and on the screen is in thrall to our perception of and fascination with the Little Green Men - even if, in fact, most of them are Grey.
How did we get here? And what does our obsession with all things alien, whether extraterrestrial or manufactured, say about us in a post-religious world? Venturing fearlessly into the realms of myth, paranoia and the just plain weird, Bryan Appleyard attempts to make sense of the alien phenomenon by exploring not just the close encounters but also the ways in which we have rationalised or celebrated them. Covering everything from the joyful anthropocentrism of Star Trek to the bloodyminded nihilism of Stanislaw Lem, Aliens is both a brilliantly entertaining cultural history and an intellectual tour de force.
