Xenophobia by Peter Cawdron

4.0

I really liked this book's philosophical and cultural discussion on otherworldly aliens as it would affect the 21st century society. Indeed a lot of the focus is on how humanity reacts to these aliens and what is the best way they see fit to approach the first contact situation. I found the reactions of people and the government to be quite realistic, at least as the world currently stands right now. My only issue was that the lead character's opinions and reactions seemed to change wildly but then again she does acknowledge this behaviour herself; I mean, I've never had first contact with aliens so who am I to say my reactions would be consistent in a novel situation like that?
