In this provocative and engaging book, Bryan Appleyard explores humanity’s fascination with extraterrestrials — from UFO sightings to abduction stories — and argues that they reveal more about us than about beings from other worlds. Blending psychology, philosophy, and cultural history, he shows how the idea of aliens reflects our deepest fears, hopes, and questions about what it means to be human.
A thoughtful and compelling meditation on belief, imagination, and the unknown.
