#Oh they also got proton supercomputers communicating instantaneously via quantum entanglement why do they need the earth so

The thing about 'alien invasion because the home planet is doomed' media is I always just feel like a civilization who has attained interstellar travel and associated technologies would probably have more pragmatic options than an invasion of the nearest inhabited planet. Like it just feels unlikely that the Earth is the only reasonable option worth all the additional effort of a hostile takeover at that point. And that's just based within the presumption that spacefaring civilizations would be colonialists who think nothing of genocide, which really isn't a given.

It started out really interesting to me but it's getting less interesting #as we learn more... #I do want to read the original book now though #I do like that the actual 'invasion' is coming 400+ years ahead of when it takes place #The distance being outside the scale of multiple human lifetimes but quickly impending on a societal scale is interesting #Wow It Is Almost Like An Analogue For The Full Effects Of Unmitigated Climate Change Woww
