Long. The Invasion from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic, written by John H. Long, delves into the psychological effects of a hypothetical alien invasion on Earth's inhabitants. The book explores how people would react to such an event, focusing on the panic and fear that would ensue. It examines the ways in which technology has evolved over time and how it can be used to both unite and divide society. The book begins by describing a hypothetical scenario where aliens invade Earth, causing widespread chaos and destruction. As the invasion progresses, people become increasingly desperate and fearful, leading to a breakdown in social order. The author argues that this type of situation highlights the importance of understanding the psychological effects of technological advancements and their impact on society. One of the main themes of the book is the need for a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge. This paradigm would allow individuals to better understand the rapid pace of technological change and its implications for humanity.
