Devastated by nuclear war, his home planet, Anthea, is no longer habitable. Newton lands in Kentucky and starts patenting Anthean technology\u2014amassing the fortune he needs to build a spaceship that will bring the last three hundred Anthean survivors to Earth.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> But instead of the help he seeks, he finds only self-destruction, sinking into alcoholism and abandoning his spaceship, in this poignant story about the human condition\u2014which has inspired both a film starring David Bowie and the new series starring Chiwetel Ejiofor\u2014by the acclaimed author of\u00a0Mockingbird.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> \u201cBeautiful science fiction\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. The story of an extraterrestrial visitor from another planet is designed mainly to say something about life on this one.\u201d \u2014The New York Times<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> \u201cAn utterly realistic novel about an alien human on Earth\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. Realistic enough to become a metaphor for something inside us all, some existential loneliness.\u201d \u2014Norman Spinrad, author of\u00a0The Iron Dream<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> \u201cThose who know\u00a0The Man Who Fell to Earth\u00a0only from the film version are missing something.
