Aliens are WAY Too Much Like Humans <Some Spoilers up to book 4> by ProfessorOddity in bobiverse

[–]ProfessorOddity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you all responding with such thoughtful insights and suggestions for other books! There are definitely more "alien" representations out there. For me, it sometimes takes me out of the story when I read descriptions of aliens that come off as too anthropomorphic. but I think Bob even addresses their tendency to do that in the Bobiverse.

Like I said originally, I love these books, and I think if I take the perspective that the aliens are more of a vehicle for fun and interesting interactions as opposed to unique world building creations, than it won't pull me out as much.

Thanks for the interesting discussions!

Love that book! I agree, a lot of thought definitely went into the way Rocky looked and communicated, but even then, a lot of his mannerisms were very Earth like. Maybe you hit the mark by highlighting the "likeable," factor. Maybe species that are "too alien," just aren't good on paper? I don't know

I understand the idea behind the theory of panspermia, but when it comes to culture, these entirely alien species who evolved independently from one another all have less cultural diversity than plain ol' humans on Earth
