We're Civilized!

About this book

In the early 1950s, as the Cold War intensified and humanity's gaze turned toward the cosmos, "We're Civilized!" by Mark Clifton and Alex Apostolides emerged as a thought-provoking science fiction novella. This compelling narrative examines the complexities of civilization and intelligence through the lens of human encounters with an alien race on Mars. With its exploration of themes such as the nature of "unalienable rights" and the essence of what it means to be "civilized," the novella invites readers to reflect on their own societal values. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this work challenges preconceived notions of humanity and encourages a deeper understanding of our place in the universe.
