As for the subject matter of this book, I hope for an alien invasion so the 99 percent of people on Earth who share 99 percent of the same values will unite and force the alien invaders to retreat, taking with them the 1 percent of humanoids they left behind the last time they were here. Maybe with that 1 percent gone, the scar tissue in our ears will heal, and we can listen to one another.
