Satire and Sci-fi

I listened to 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' this week and I really enjoyed how the radio drama came out. It didn't need a lot, but seemed to add to the story. It was nice they even added recaps so you were caught up on what was happening. 

Hitchhiker's Guide seems to highlight invasion. Invasion is something that has happened many times in our own history and seems to still happen today in some cases. In the story, it talks about how Ford's alien race would come to destroy Earth. 

It also mentions the planet Magrathea, who created Earth, and while creating it for finding the answer to life, soon became the richest planet in their galaxy. Which resulted in the neighboring ones turning to poverty, which has happened in our own history on Earth.
