Martians, Go Home (1955)

by Frederic Brown

Luke Devereaux was a science-fiction writer, holed up in a desert shack waiting for inspiration. He was the first man to see a Martian, but he wasn’t the last! It was estimated that a billion of them had arrived --one to every three human beings on Earth-- obnoxious green creatures who could be seen and heard, but not harmed, and who probed private sex lives as shamelessly as they probed government secrets. No one knew why they had come. No one knew how to make them go away-- except, perhaps, Luke Devereaux. Unfortunately Devereaux was going slightly bananas, so it wouldn’t be easy. But for a science-fiction write nothing was impossible. - from the back cover of the 1976 Ballantine edition

Vacuum Diagrams (1997)

by Stephen Baxter

Vacuum Diagrams is a collection of science fiction short stories written by Stephen Baxter. The collection connects the novels of the Xeelee Sequence and also shows the history of mankind in the Xeelee universe, and ultimately the universe. While each short story in the collection is self-contained, the stories are presented as being contained in the context of the first story, Eve, about a man who is forced to witness the events in the short stories by a god-like being. Eve acts as a structure for the short stories, with an introduction at the beginning of Vacuum Diagrams, short scenes occurring between each "era" (with "Eve" character explaining and introducing the next section), and an ending that wraps up the plot for the Eve story itself. Vacuum Diagrams won the Philip K. Dick Award in 1999. - from wikipedia description
