Humans Wanted
Humans Wanted | Jody Nye
2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Humans are tough. Humans can last days without food. Humans heal so quickly, they pierce holes in themselves or inject ink under their epidermis for fun. Humans will walk for days on broken bones in order to make it to safety. Humans will literally cut off bits of themselves if trapped by a disaster. You would be amazed what humans will do to survive. Or to ensure the survival of others they feel responsible for. That's the other thing. Humans pack-bond, and they spill their pack-bonding instincts everywhere. Sure it's weird when they talk sympathetically to broken spaceships or try to pet every lifeform that scans as non-toxic. It's even a little weird that just existing in the same place as them for long enough seems to make them care about you. But if you're hurt, if you're trapped, if you need someone to fetch help? You really want a human. Twelve authors provide their perspectives on human ingenuity and usefulness as we try to find our place among the stars. From battletested to brokenhearted, humans are capable of amazing things. Humans Wanted shows not only what we are, but how awesome we can be.

I‘m about halfway through this anthology of short stories, and thus far I really like it - it‘s full of comfy, uplifting stories with lots of different ideas and interpretations of the “humans are badass” genre (which I love in general). Just a lot of fun, short sci-fi.

Mehso-so

I loved most of the stories in this one but some of them just weren‘t for me. I adore the humans are the weird ones in space trope a whole lot and the short stories in this collection really captured the heart of that so well. But yeah, overall a so-so because I just couldn‘t get into some of the stories.🚀👩🏻‍🚀
