(for those unwise enough to consider
visiting)
The artifact on the left was discovered in 2079 in the
ruins beyond Cybertown. It contains a fascinating account of life on Earth
as it was believed to be in the late 20th century. I say "believed
to be" because the information in the Guide is so unbelievable and
presents a picture of a planet that, while reasonably advanced technologically,
was yet so far in the Dark Ages when it came to any understanding of the
basics of life that many of the inhabitants believed that they were controlled
by their brains and that they were their bodies (honest, I'm not making this up!).
The Guide covers the amazing ideas that many on Earth had
regarding their own nature and their relationship to the universe.

THE
ALIEN'S GUIDE TO EARTH
Why would anyone be foolhardy enough to
want to visit the "Prison Planet" or the "Garbage Heap of this Sector
of the Universe" as Earth is popularly known? Well, there'll always
be beings who are just plain curious and of course those who simply
don't believe all the bizarre things they've heard about "life" on
Earth. This Guide is for these unwary souls.
You've heard the wild stories and you've
probably thought that no "civilization" could be that messed up and
so deeply steeped in ignorance and not even know it. Well, be prepared to
suspend your disbelief because everything in this Guide - no matter
how far-fetched it may seem - is all completely verified as true!
Note that I'm not saying that all on Earth is bad or that everyone is crazy - there are indeed some who are enlightened. It's just that they don't have a big enough voice yet and so mainly the insanities prevail. Let's hope it's not always so!
