The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a fleet of Vogon "constructor" ships, resembling giant flying
yellow bricks (symbolizing bulldozers) demolish the
Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
They do it in
mere minutes by circling the Earth with all of their
ships and firing at once; humanity is annihilated with
no resistance.
This is ironic, as the story begins with
the local planning department of Arthur Dent's city
saying that the plans to demolish his house (to make way
for a bypass) were on "display" for a few years, only to
have the Vogons demolish the Earth (for a hyperspacial
bypass), who say that the plans had been in the local
planning office in Alpha Centauri for 50 Earth years.
