There's something in the Latin that you should know, something sneaky and delightful that will revolutionize your understanding of the word "invasion" and the invasions so common to science fiction and fantasy works. From classics like "War of the Worlds" and middle-aged classics like "DUne" to modern brain-teasers such as "Annihilation" and "The Expanse," we're here to unpack what, exactly, an invasion can do for you and your planet. Or, well, someone else's planet. After all, we humans aren't such shabby invaders ourselves, now, are we?
