The Humans : a novel

This is my second read by this author. Again it feels like another allegory and I'm not disappointed by that. I usually don't like to be tricked. But who doesn't want to hear that our human existence is better than that of the "perfect" alien race with no death or grief? I wasn't sure what I was reading at first. An alien possessing a human for the purpose of halting scientific/human progression? Ummmm weird. But what a beautiful story this turned out to be. Thank you Matt!

This was actually a hugely poignant story, reminding me in part of [a:Douglas Adams|4|Douglas Adams|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1189120061p2/4.jpg] but with the seriousness he rarely held onto woven throughout. It's rather heartbreakingly sad, and yet it pulls at one with a sense of potential. Hard to quantify but certainly very much enjoyed.
