While reading Empire just now, I saw a picture of one of the alien ships from the original War of the Worlds, and had a genuine moment of fear, just for a second.
No-one would have believed in the early years of the twenty-first century, that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own. That as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they observed and studied.
With infinite complacency men went to and fro about the globe, confident of their empire over this world.
Yet, across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our planet with envious eyes. And slowly, and surely drew their plans against us.
The original used to scare the bejeesus out of me, and I’m very much looking forward to the this summers’ remake, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise and Tim Robbins.
