Odd John


Blonde-haired, very large eyes. Someone saw me post this elsewhere and asked about it. They were well up on all the UFO abduction and alien hybrid literature but had not seen this one.

I will quote Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_John

Odd John: A Story Between Jest and Earnest is a 1935 science fiction novel by the British author Olaf Stapledon. The novel explores the theme of the Übermensch(superman) in the character of John Wainwright, whose supernormal human mentality inevitably leads to conflict with normal human society and to the destruction of the utopiancolony founded by John and other superhumans.
The novel resonates with the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche and the work of English writer J. D. Beresford, with an allusion to Beresford's superhuman child character of Victor Stott inThe Hampdenshire Wonder (1911). As the devoted narrator remarks, John does not feel obliged to observe the restricted morality of Homo sapiens. Stapledon's recurrent vision of cosmic angst – that the universe may be indifferent to intelligence, no matter how spiritually refined – also gives the story added depth. Later explorations of the theme of the superhuman and of the incompatibility of the normal with the supernormal occur in the works of Stanisław LemFrank HerbertWilmar ShirasRobert Heinlein and Vernor Vinge, among others.
The book is mentioned by Julian May in Intervention, part of the Galactic Milieu Series. It is also responsible for coining the term "homo superior".

1935 well before the alien hybrid agenda.  Yet some strikingly similar themes.  Themes and images repeated over the decades and finding a new lease of life in the current Jacobs-fuelled  alien abduction agenda.

There are even sketches of the Hubrids (human hybrids) that look as though they were traced from this book cover.

This is the reason why I have stated repeatedly for ten years or more that we need to note what these abduction researchers are doing (those who have not had practice licences revoked or chit-chat about their fetishes) but delve into those cases we have recorded prior to Hopkins, Streiber, Mack and especially Jacobs screwing investigation and research up.  I'll point out that I supported all of them in their work, especially Budd who was a nice and well meaning person who wandered off the path.
