Gore Vidal wrote this comic satire (originally a live television drama) to lampoon the Cold War and humanity’s self-destructive preoccupation with world domination. In an ill-conceived solo alien invasion, the extra-terrestrial Kreton lands his space ship in the middle of a suburban rose garden, and innocently announces his intention to conquer the world.
