		The use of the familiar made alien only to be revealed as Other, is perhaps an even more powerful way of ‘throwing the alien into relief.’ The familiar is thrown into relief, estranged, shown to be illusory and questionable.
		The alien, then is the self made other, and reality rendered un-real, it becomes pervasive and inescapable inextricably linked to the previously familiar.
		The fact that the novum is not the aliens, but a new form of something familiar (identity) plays a key role in the process of throwing the alien into relief.

	Extraterrestrial life in popular culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This usage is clearly anthropocentric: when humans in fictional accounts accomplish interstellar travel and land on a planet elsewhere in the universe, the local inhabitants of these other planets are usually still referred to as "alien," even though they are the native life form and the humans are the intruders.
		It is easier to relate to an alien with features we recognize such as arms and legs, two eyes, a nose and a mouth, as well as behavior we recognize such as baring its teeth in anger or widening its eyes in shock or surprise.
		Aliens are also used in fiction to examine the human race from a different perspective; the author wishes us to examine ourselves in a new way by contrasting us with an imagined alternative.

		Science fiction authors can insist on faster than light drives without breaking their spell, because we all know in our bones that nothing happens when you go faster except that you get there quicker.
		Which brings me back to aliens: so long as the conditions of their environments or lifestyles require it, aliens may have more or fewer legs or heads than appears natural at first glance.
		The point is that to render an alien who is more than a pastiche of leftovers from the special effects studio, it is necessary to think through the whole environment the alien comes from.

		The first aliens of pulp SF were slimy bug-eyed monsters from the nether regions of the solar system.
		Aliens were vegetable beings grown in pods in the back garden who took the place of Mom and Dad; or amoeboid extra-terrestrials who rode invisibly on the backs of their unsuspecting hosts.

	Fiction Factor - Aliens & Faeries: Non-Human Characters Acting Badly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Most writers of speculative fiction have a tendency to include a non-human character or two in their novels these days.
		Hard science fiction writers like to throw in a random bug-eyed, slime-dripping menace with which to threaten their heroes.
		Why then, would a writer assume that an alien being, who looks different to the humans around him, would still walk and talk and think the same way, if he was raised in extremely different circumstances.

	Science Fiction as a Genre in Adolescent Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Science fiction is similar to fantasy in that it is set in worlds that generally do not correspond to present realities.
		Shortly after this science fiction began reaching audiences, the outbreak of World War II occured, the conclusion of which ushered equally amazing technologies into the world; that is, the world quickly inducted into the atomic and information ages.
		As such, good science fiction with a conscience is going to promote new ways of looking at the human consequences and relation to things like industrialism, evolutionary theory, relativity, computers, the big ban, human presence on the moon and the possibility of alien intelligence.

		Science fiction has a number of common concepts and themes that have been reused by numerous authors.
		Some have become cliches, and only truly novel treatments of them gain attention, whilst others have become "part of the furniture"—they can be included in a story without much explanation because readers are already familiar with the core concept.
		This plot device allows writers to write soft science fiction while accounting for the lack of technological advancement and thus similarity to the present day.

		The aliens are mainly from books and short stories that I'm not familiar with (not surprising since this was published originally when I was aproximately 5 years old), but there is enough info about them included to make it not just pictures of things I don't know what they are.
		That the steersmen are not aliens of an unknown planet but humans who are mutated by spice overexposure is used as a plot point in one of the Dune prequels and the fact is presumably taken either from Herbert's notes or the inferences from the original novels.
		Bottom line: get it for the art and the glosses of the alien races, but don't be that surprised if the description or portrait of your favorite alien doesn't quite match what you've seen in your head all these years.
