With Texas talking about seceding from the rest of the country , who ’s belong to carry through us from the distance Amazon ? That ’s the content of TheGirls From Planet 5 , perchance the greatest novel ever .
In The Girls From Planet 5 , published in 1955 , the United States elect a female President of the United States by 1988 , and before long enough , woman are running the whole area ! The novel ’s primary character , Dave , does n’t bear in mind too much — until his girlfriend have the job he was in line for , and becomes his chief ! So Dave moves to Texas , the only part of the land where Isle of Man are still men . You ca n’t vote unless you’re able to rope a steer , and they ’d never let someone like Ann Richards be in tutelage . ( Oops . )
Anyway , in 1998 , a group of distaff aliens from Planet 5 land on Earth , accidentally killing a bunch of people in Alexandria . Despite that fiddling misunderstanding , the noncitizen appear friendly , and the citizens of “ Biddyland ” ( which is what Texans call the respite of the U.S. ) welcome them with undecided arms . Only the Texans , who are nominally still part of the U.S. , catch these visitors with intuition and ask pertinent questions like , “ What take place to their menfolk ? ” Turns out the new sexy alien are really being verify by older , despicable foreigner . And are therefore vicious . Only the sovereign - disposed Texans can save us !
Over at Crooked Timber , John Holbo has a fantastic review / sum-up of this prophetical novel . He even type in some paragraph of inanimate prose , including the part where a woman allege “ I spunkily made myself a boozing . ” And then she insists that woman actually can vote in Texas , and she was rope and branding steers long before most of these dudes . Anyway , in the end , Texas zep Sam Buckskin rounds up a posse , and they go to deliver the rest of the country from these nasty femaliens , before it ’s Too Late .
