Earth Kicked Out of the Galaxy Group Chat

You have been removed from Galactic Collective (4,218 members)."

For eleven years, Dana Okafor's job at the UN Office for Cosmic Affairs has been to listen to static on a broken budget in an office no one remembers exists. Then, on an unremarkable Tuesday, her monitor lights up green — with an automated message informing humanity that it has just been removed from the galaxy's communication network. Reason: "repeated violations. You know what you did." Appeals close in 30 galactic cycles.

Nobody knows what humanity did. Nobody can agree on how to fix it. And Earth has just become the planet the rest of the universe collectively decided to block.

A razor-sharp dark comedy about first contact gone hilariously wrong, Earth Kicked Out of the Galaxy Group Chat skewers bureaucracy, diplomacy, and humanity's total inability to get its act together — even when the entire galaxy is watching.
