xkcd: Exoplanet High-5
https://xkcd.com/2779/

I really, really, really hope that our first contact goes better than
this. Unfortunately, most first contact books tend to lean in this
direction. The best books are “Footfall” by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven
https://www.amazon.com/Footfall-Larry-Niven/dp/0345323440/
and “Live Free Or Die” by John Ringo
https://www.amazon.com/Live-Free-Die-Troy-Rising/dp/1439133972/
