内容简介
在小说《入侵》中,卢克•莱恩哈特通过最终极的外来者——在我们的星球上登陆的外星人——的眼睛对我们的世界做了一番巧妙的讽刺。

一些高智能的毛绒沙滩球从另一个宇宙忽然出现在地球上。这太奇怪了。当“路易”(Louie)登上了他的渔船又跟着他回了家以后,比利•莫顿(Billy Morton) 这样想。他的家人很快就喜欢上了这个有趣的外星人,但是,当路易开始使用他们的计算机并侵入了政府与公司的账户、了解了美国国家安全局所知道的一切、还从银行里偷走了上千万美元之后,他们终于意识到,路易和他的朋友们其实是个麻烦。

Praise for INVASION by Luke Rhinehart

“Classic Rhinehart. Fresh, smart, and very very funny.”—Danny Wallace, author of Yes Man

 

“Swinging wildly from innocent fun to black humor, playful slapstick to political evisceration, Invasion pulls off the trick only truly killer satire can manage: Making you laugh when you should be crying.”—Robert Brockway, author of The Unnoticeables

 

“Funny, warm, and with a streak of satire sharp enough to take your leg off. Luke Rhinehart at his best. I read the book, my teeth grinding with jealousy.”—Nev Fountain

 

“A riotous, satirical pounding from another dimension. A fine addition to the Rhinehart canon.” —Robert Wringham

“How do you hold up a mirror to a crazy world that doesn’t want to look? And how do you show it where it’s going wrong without preaching? If you’re [Luke Rhinehart]—aka The Dice Man—you distract it hilariously with a bunch of morphing aliens whose chaotic antics serve only to demonstrate how cynical and insane the world order has become. It takes a master of satire to pull this off because as a device, bouncing ‘hairy balls’ shouldn’t work, but they do. Once you stop laughing, you’ll realise you've been distracted—and hypnotised—by [Rhinehart] just long enough to learn the lessons he so deftly imparts.”—Steve Boggan

 

Invasion is an incisive, iconoclastic‎, humane and utterly compelling exploration of the deep recess of conspiracy that is the shadowland of our days today living in an age of total surveillance that undermines identity. Luke Rhinehart delivers a subtle and fast paced page turner that asks questions and gives answers about not only the voyeuristic world we inhabit today but the ramifications of it in a novel that is destined to become a classic.”—Richard Godwin

 

Praise for Luke Rhinehart

“Touching, ingenious and beautifully comic.”—Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange

 

“A blackly comic amusement part of a book.”—Time magazine

 

“Extremely funny and very impressive.”—Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider

 

“Brilliant… much like Catch-22.”—The Houston Post
