War of the Worlds - the book, the movie

Original book. Orson Welled radio broadcast hysteria not as reported. Radiolab report on repeated adaptations. The new developments at the time of writing that informed the book.

Alien Attack

Methods, research, planning. Trying to explain the buried  death-bots.

But Why

Are we food? Do they want our resources? Making the most sense of the options. Are liquified people good for fertilizer?

Germ Attack

They might have done a little more research.
