Abstract
This chapter seeks to extend the conversation beyond the gravitational forces of typical humanist discourses. Christopher Driscoll’s “Rudy’s Paradox: The ALIENation of Race and its Non-Humans” gives an account of the alien presence already at work in the non-humanist world. Would a threat from alien forces give us pause to rethink the binary of “humanism” and “non-humanist?” This and other existential questions are posed with help from a very unlikely source, Rudy of Germany, the tall white alien race traitor.
