Hysteria by James D. Irwin

The gathered crowd didn't seem very excited. In fact at least one man seemed to be yawning. Everyone else was gazing at little tiny screens in the palms of their hands. He thought maybe the site of an alien from a distant planet might provoke some hysteria, but nobody much seemed to care.

The unearthly traveller wondered around for a while, and tried unsuccessfully to get into this Game of Thrones show everyone seemed to be talking about. After two weeks he got bored of waiting for someone to show any interest in him, gave up and went home--- taking the secrets of life with him. He was halfway to Jupiter before he realised he'd been under a cloaking device the whole time.
