Little Green Men

Christopher Buckley


This is about alien abduction. However, the abductions are carried out by a shady CIA group initially to convince the Russians that the USA had access to superior technology. A powerful talk show host is "abducted" on the orders of a drunk CIA man and when the poor man goes public no one believes him. It's very funny and knowing and cynical about Washington politics.

This is about the idea of alien abduction. The theory of the book is that all the reported alien abductions have actually been organized by a special department of the U.S. Government. The book is more about U.S. society, and the way the government is a controlling force in society, than about abductions. Although the idea behind the book is amusing it's not very well written - Andrew got bored towards the end.
