Well, the question wasn't "show who we wish we were" or "who we want you to think we are"...

Wise choice! Here's another:

In a passage from 2061: Odyssey Three by Arthur C. Clarke, creatures from Europa's oceans were threatening the astronauts. One of the creatures ate one of the astronauts, and a few minutes later, the creature regurgitated and died (totally different DNA). The other creatures then left the astronauts alone.

2061 would be a good book to share with aliens. It contains a timeless message: eat me and you'll be sorry!

I would NOT give them the bible nor any kind of ancient book. I would give you a selected book from startrek saga where it depicts a nice idea of future in peace.
