Earth has been colonized by an alien race known as the vuvv. They aren't at all like the aliens most humans imagine. Their arrival on Earth and a number of other planets has meant huge life changes. They control everything and their technology has basically shut down businesses and left many humans out of work.
If an effort to provide money for his family, Adam and his "girlfriend" are performing as lovers from the 1950s. The vuvv first came in contact with humans during that decade so they crave the ways of that time and are willing to pay for entertainment connected to the past. Adam earns enough to help out since his dad abandoned them and his mom can't find work. At least he can help keep food on the table.
What Adam enjoys most is art, especially painting landscapes to remember what things were like before the vuvv arrived. When he learns that his art could help him win a contest worth lots of money, he puts together a portfolio he hopes will earn him first place. Actually, winning becomes an issue when Adam suffers from an untreated medical condition.
Author M. T. Anderson, known for his novel FEED, visits the sci-fi realm again in LANDSCAPE WITH INVISIBLE HAND. This book will leave readers questioning how life could change if aliens did indeed land on Earth.
