Description
What would it be like to live as a quiet, intensely introverted recluse, hermit, and vegan in a world that likes to party loudly and excessively? What are some of the extraordinary lengths introverts will go to in order to hide, literally, from the rest of the world? What, indeed, is an introvert, or a recluse, and are we perhaps one of them without actually realising it?
These and many other thought-provoking questions are answered in this funny, frank, honest, outrageously satirical, and occasionally slightly risqué examination of a world we rarely see and of people who are often almost invisible to the naked eye.
Author and historian Tony Matthews takes us on a hilarious autobiographical journey through the mysterious and, at times, mystic existences of the reclusive and solitudinous vegan, delving into aspects of this strange world where 'invisibility' is a key element, and an intense love of all animal life a driving force.
Invisible - The Essential Guide for Aliens Stranded on Earth is a compassionate and at times deeply immersive experience of another completely different human perspective. Tony Matthews guides us through a compelling and entertaining adventure that will keep you smiling, chuckling, and, at times, laughing outrageously from cover to cover.

About the Author
Tony Matthews is a Welsh–Australian historian and author who has devoted his career to uncovering the hidden stories of Australia’s past. Since migrating in 1972, he has written nearly 40 books—including best-selling regional histories and gripping true crime anthologies—and produced more than a dozen documentaries for the ABC and Seven Network, as well as hundreds of radio programs. Born in Swansea, Wales, and educated at Clevedon College, Tony travelled widely before settling in Australia to pursue his lifelong passion for history. His first book was published in 1986, with many titles since achieving strong sales—most notably Crosses: Australian Soldiers in the Great War, which remained on Queensland bestseller lists for 13 consecutive weeks. Renowned for his meticulous research and accessible storytelling, Tony brings history to life through compelling narratives and unforgettable characters. His colonial true crime books have been serialised on radio and praised for their vivid, dramatic flair.
