Only You Can Save Mankind Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett

In most video games, aliens are there to be shot at. They are not supposed to surrender. Understandably, then, Johnny Maxwell is a little surprised when the ScreeWee Invaders from his pirated copy of "Only You Can Save Mankind" offer to surrender in exchange for safe passage to their home planet. He is even more surprised when Johnny enters the game space in his dreams. But its all just a video game and a few bad dreams, right? He couldn't really be going crazy. Could he?

This book reminded me why Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite offers. His clear-eyed way of looking at life and modern culture always makes me think, and I love the wide array of characters he creates. "Only You Can Save Mankind" proves that Terry Pratchett 's genius extends outside of the Discworld and into contemporary society.
