I am still listening to The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu. I was wondering if an alien invasion happened, would you want to fight the aliens, or let them invade Earth?

I guess it would depend on their intent, and how many there were.

@snowy22315 In the book, there are a fleet of them. The fleet looks like a brush from a telescope. Not sure yet what their intent is. They take 400 years to get here. Right now in the book, people are saying there won't be a battle, but those people could be brainwashed.

@JESSY3236 I think people's immediate reaction would be fear, so a fight would probably ensue.

I would like to fight with the aliens and invade their plannet.

@sjvg1976 lol In this book, the aliens' planet has three suns which causes their world to become too hot, or too cold. Then when the aliens were trying to defend themselves for future attacks, they destroyed their own planet.
