What sense would a space alien make of what you are doing right now? Why are you scanning rows of symbols off an electronic screen which advertise the opportunity to scan rows of other symbols off a stack of flattened and neatly trimmed vegetation cadavers (or, as a human would call it, a book)? And if you yourself were a space alien sent to a human-infested and rapidly overheating planet like Earth and were capable of taking human form to avoid detection, how would you know which nonsensical behaviour to engage in when in order to appear authentically human?For any alien going undercover on Earth, this manual is a must-read. ALIENS ABOUT HUMANS: The Undercover Alien’s Handbook on Successful Infiltration is a hilarious blend of dark comedy and sharp satire that provides an extraterrestrial perspective on human society.

This parody manual humorously and pseudo-scientifically explains human behaviour and thought processes, guiding undercover aliens on how to navigate the peculiarities and dysfunctions of humanity without blowing their cover. From the creator of the popular Twitter account Aliens About Humans (@HumansExplained), known for its blunt and humorous takes, this book brings to life the ongoing gag about the fictitious alien infiltrator Zorn, along with new characters in a side-splitting narrative.

It cleverly exposes the inconsistencies and flaws in everything from everyday objects to ethical norms, religion, and societal structures, making it a perfect read for fans of dark comedy and satire. If you love the wit of Douglas Adams's "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" and the blunt humour of Diane Morgan’s Philomena Cunk, this book is your ticket to a refreshingly brutal and comedic view of humanity from an alien's perspective.
