In 2016, a low-budget science fiction television show named Invasion of a Small World _came out. The show was not well-received during its original run, but it gathered a cult following. It centered on Dr. Smith, an Indian scientist who, along with his young assistant Mary, discovers a stone that reveals the existence of extraterrestrial life. The discovery leads to Dr. Smith’s fame. On the global stage, he insists that there is not just one extraterrestrial species; there are many out there. A skeptic asks if perhaps the aliens allowed humans to find them to deter us from venturing out of our homes. Dr. Smith admits that that might be the case. Following the series, extraterrestrial life was discovered in a way similar to that prescribed by the show. People investigated where the series came from, but its three creators committed suicide following its release, and no other information could be known. Reflecting on the mystery of the show and the future of humanity, the journalist investigating _Invasion remembers the show’s final scene, during which Mary reassures her daughter that, in the event of an apocalypse, the universe will flood with glorious singing and wet breathing, the hallmarks of the human race.
