Earth-Watching: a Seductive Pleasure in a Perfect World

Earthlings as entertainment? The people of Palala are bored. The planet's an ecological utopia with no violence and little conflict. They watch the antics of those crazy Earth beings with amusement and horror, and are fascinated by the cultures, religions and governments of our flawed planet. Some people have become emotionally connected to the Earthlings they watch. When groups of Palalans start to emulate the Earthlings, and one Palalan get too involved in an Earthling's life, there's problems in paradise. It's a murder mystery and a clash of cultures intertwined. Murder,politics,religion and a few laughs.
