Alien Contact and Diplomacy - Get it Right or We Suffer by Simon Drake

Описание: Alien Contact and Diplomacy -- Get it Right or We Suffer by Simon Drake
Ever wondered what to do when E.T. phones and asks US awkward questions?
Or deconstructed the motives of a visiting UFO that is thousands of light years from home?
To understand how Aliens sees us, we first have to understand our own history of exploration,
contact and diplomacy, between Old World civilizations and the New World tribes.
Earth history is littered with cruel jokes on unwitting peoples, where the collision of East meets West ended with one party screwed over, or just wiped out of existence.
Why should Earth's destiny among other races of the universe be any different?
Yet what if Aliens of rocked up into Earth's lower orbit and communicated only through our social networks?
The responsibility for contact has moved from military elites to the wider, connected public.
We have to be prepared to face our past in order to face the future.
Soon, now, or a day in the far future, we will make real alien contact and our diplomacy will either have us subjugated and naively enslaved, or equipped with knowledge and technology that enables us to explore the stars.
We must be prepared for Alien Contact and Diplomacy so that when our descendant's explore new worlds, they know how to drive a bargain and make a deal to survive, when they get there.
