I have read it and it's not a satire or funny. It's SF plain and simple. Fantastic Fiction agrees with me. http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/...aders-plan.htm. Overdrive also agrees. http://search.overdrive.com/ti/e9788...on-earth-ebook Let's go for WorldCat as another source that says it's just SF. http://www.worldcat.org/title/invade...=brief_results

So unless someone can find a definitive source that says it's a satire, it's not and never will be.
Dianetics would be a better choice for humor month. But it's not that funny either, just pathetic.

What is funny was the look on the young man's face at the Dianetics Center when I asked him if it was true that Charles Manson was a dianetic clear.

Spoiler:
It is true.
