The book explores themes of invasion, identity, and the clash between different realities, presenting a narrative that delves into the peculiar experience of beings from a different world who seek to understand and ultimately conquer Earth. The story is told primarily through a series of letters written by a character named Glmpauszn, who is attempting to communicate with his counterpart, Joe Binkle, while inhabiting a human body in the "not-world," or Earth. Glmpauszn describes his process of coming to terms with human sensations, emotions, and the absurdities of human society, all while planning for an impending invasion of Earth. Meanwhile, another character, Ivan Smernda, becomes embroiled in the mystery of his guests who seem to inexplicably disappear from his hotel rooms, leaving behind nothing but their clothes. As Glmpauszn adapts to life as a human and develops a nefarious plan to unleash a fatal mold on the population, the letters highlight the juxtaposition between the alien perspective and human existence, building a story full of both humor and horror.
