Plan 59 from Outer Space Hardcover – March 11, 2026

In 1957, Ed Wood brought us a movie about aliens who tried to raise the dead to destroy humanity and prevent us from causing a galaxy-destroying weapon they believed we would one day create. This was Plan 9 from Outer Space.Obviously, plans 1 through 8 failed, and (spoiler alert, but frankly, the movie has been out for 63 years now, so there shouldn't be much to spoil) so did Plan 9. But what happened in the years since 1957? Did the aliens just give up? Were they going to cease their plans to stop us and save the galaxy? Of course not. Almost 60 years have passed, and in that time, they have attempted to destroy us nearly 50 more times, and humanity has become quite adept at fighting them off. But today, they are coming back for their 59th plan, a plan that is so nefarious it just might work.How will the aliens try to destroy humanity this time? Just look in your hand. That little device that's always by your side and that you could never live without. They will destroy us using our own cell phones. Read more
