Małe zielone ludziki (Little Green Men) is a science fiction novel by Krzysztof Boruń, first published in 1985 by Krajowa Agencja Wydawnicza (in two volumes) in the series Fantazja–Przygoda–Rozrywka (Fantasy–Adventure–Entertainment), is classified as social, political, and afrofuturistic science fiction and is described as a dystopia.
Several non-political figures are also satirized. One of the minor characters in the book, Karl Cuntmore, is an author of popular political thriller novels who presents himself as a defense expert. The character is suspected to be a swipe at the popular political thriller novels of author Tom Clancy, whom Buckley had criticized in the past. [3]
Little green men is the stereotypical portrayal of extraterrestrials as little humanoid creatures with green skin and sometimes with antennae on their heads. The term is also sometimes used to describe gremlins , mythical creatures said to cause problems in airplanes and mechanical devices.
The novel was originally named "Little Green Men," [9] in reference to the common science-fiction trope. In her introduction to the 1976 edition, Le Guin stated that she was concerned at the exploitation of the natural world by humans, particularly in the name of financial gain, and that this concern drove her story.
