In classic 1950's science fiction, the basic motives for
being contacted (or attacked) by aliens are, according to
Solomon
Golumb:
* Help!
* Buy!
* Convert!
* Vacate!
* Negotiate!
* Work!
* Discuss!
Sir Arthur C. Clarke notes that the nasty little short story by
Damon
Knight adds an eighth motive: Serve! (fried or roasted)
