The Humans

by Matt Haig

The tranquil tenure of Professor Andrew Martin is shattered when he inexplicably vanishes after deciphering a grand mathematical enigma. The man who resurfaces along a motorway, devoid of clothing and previous sentiments, is an alien in disguise, tasked with a grim mission carrying dire consequences for mankind. Yet, thrust amid the earthly chaos he once scorned, the extraterrestrial interloper, masquerading as the professor, encounters the baffling beauty of human existence—poetry, passion, and peanut butter. Amidst the alien observer's gradual immersion into the Martin family's life, and the softening of his harsh judgments, a profound transformation unfolds. 'The Humans' is a whimsically poignant exploration of what it means to be human, as an outsider's eyes are opened to the flawed splendor of life on our enigmatic planet.
