Spent the last two evenings re-reading this book, by Walter Tevis. It's so good. Takes me back to eighth grade. You, being smarter that your correspondent, could read it in a couple of hours.Old Thomas Newton comes to earth from his dying homeworld, with the intent of selling all his way-advanced technology to earthlings so he can build a big space-ark to go back and get his homies. Plan is going accordingly, but then (ta-dah!), as would happen in real life, he just ends up an apathetic drunk and accidentally blinded by Evil FBI Scientists.
David Bowie (who else?) plays in the movie.
Check this psycho-delic preview out, maaan (voiceover by Shatner!):
