Shadowed Men In Black II by Robert Gordon delves into the concept of a secretive and obscure government. In Gordon’s narrative, extraterrestrials are transported to Earth from a spaceship and subsequently confront the obstacles of assimilating into human society.

They accomplish this by incorporating a large neutralizer into the Statue of Liberty and activating it. The lives possessed by the aliens and the actions taken by the Men in Black represent postmodernism.
