The Vatican records a year with three popes. Meanwhile, UFO sightings are on the rise … The Wu Ming writers’ collective is back with an »extremely idiosyncratic but simply brilliant book between pop culture, anti-fascism, communism and the longing for an extraterrestrial presence« (Neues Deutschland).
