UPDATE 01/03/18: It's been four years since I read this novel and it still remains one of my all-time favorite books.

So we are given a picture of how alien the human race is at first glance, and how familiarity is the only way to reconcile with the many contradictions of the human condition, and how when you then look back, it is impossible to identify what exact elements turned you off in the beginning. For the rest of you, and those who sent me, humans are in many respects exactly as strange as you would expect them to be.It is an eternal and unhappy spiral that goes by the name of capitalism, and it is really quite popular. With his experiences at the forefront of his mind, this book provides what you need to hear if you are suffering/ have ever suffered with depression.

This alien didn’t know anything about human culture or social mores, so once he came upon earth, he went to a Texaco Station and picked up a Cosmopolitan magazine to read for guidance. The extraterrestrial comes in with a distorted view of humans and through his eyes, we see the absurdity of some mundane things like jobs, news and so on. Problems occur when our friendly alien finds he cannot carry out his mission in the way his superiors wish.
