PWarren reviewed Micromégas by Voltaire
Quite entertaining!
4 stars
Very interesting as the first incarnation of the aliens visit earth vehicle to criticise society sort of trope.
There was a lot more of Voltaire poking fun at his contemporaries than I thought there'd be, but a fun read anyway. I may be missing some context given its age (1752!) and some philosohpy that I've not yet read.
It's quite short, so definitely recommend reading it.
