I also like the 456 in Torchwood: Children of Earth and of course Abbott and Costello in Arrival. I lean toward any alien conception that makes any communication between us damn-near impossible. The easier it is to communicate, the more suspicious I get as a reader or viewer.
But, once they get completely unrealistic I start to like them again. All of the Star Trek Humanoids with brow-ridge sculpture of the week are fine.

I was mostly inspired by Michael Crichton and the alien organism in The Andromeda Strain. Non human, non organic, non intelligent. Unreasoning life just doing what it does to survive. That's what most alien life is going to be, I suspect, if there's any out there at all.(less)

So far, I've plowed through most of the Murderbot Diaries and I'd like to be completed before summer's over.
I'm reading Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents and it's beautiful.
I'm also reading John Stienbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. There's a strange feeling as I read it that ties me back to my parents who were born in 1927 & 1928. So much of them peeks through the pages of this book. So much of their personal quirks make sense in the light of his descriptions of Dust Bowl/Great Depression America.
I'm hoping to reread George Orwells 1984 this summer. I read it in high school and I need a refresher on it after reading Aldous Huxley's Brave New World in the spring.
I also need to read something by Brandon Sanderson because I haven't read any of his books and I want to see what the buzz is about.
There are bound to be more. Always more books to be read.(less)

“But, when you were ready to sell them, you had to know there are bad people out there ready to buy them, right?” She tilted her head as she looked for a hint that he was clued in to that. Stephen sighed. “This is why we beta test. Usually it doesn’t go this badly.” Julia imagined that a little homogenous group of techies probably never pulled their heads out of their groupthink to imagine nightmare scenarios. It was an argument for having diversity in those goddamned meetings.”
E.W. Doc Parris, The Dent in the Universe: Book One of the Epic WalrusTech Universe

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
Ursula K. Le Guin
