    You know what, this makes a good point. The only people who will be truly more fucked then they are right now when the alien apocalypse comes is the 1% because now they are just a bunch of powerless slaves

    Alien: we will poison your oceans with synthetic micro particles

    Human: got that too.

    Alien: that it’s, time for the big stuff. We will create elaborate torture schedules that give you soul crushing tasks while slowly making all good things in your life worse as we condition you that it’s all your fault.

    Human: oh boy, you should probably sit down for this…

      Alien: fine! it sure would be a shame if something happened to these lovely polar ice caps…we shall slowly but surely shift your planet’s entire climate, until eventually you will boil like lobsters and the oceans rise!

        Agreed 100%. Be thankful you didn’t read the 2nd book. So ridiculously silly and predictable. To the point of absurdity.

        I love sci-fi. Cool unique ideas, terrible execution. These books are so overrated.
