The discussion for today is The Hanging Stranger by Philip K d**k
Apparently the authors last name is being edited in the link so the link may not work. You can get to this by going to americanliterature.com/ and typing The Hanging Stranger in the search bar.
Or here's a pdf:

That was good. An Invasion Of The Body Snatchers type story. I looked it up and The Hanging Stranger predates Body Snatchers by 2 years.
This fits right in with the 50s paranoia of social control. I think the story tells us how mundane ordinary humans are because the insect people can imitate them so easily.

Good story! I almost had the vibes of "the Mist" concerning the aliens. Definitely vibes of "the BOdy Snatchers".
The fear factor was present , however, the indifference was stronger. Daily life went on.
