Full Disclosure: I received a copy of this short story from the author in exchange for an honest review.
My Thoughts: What it means to be human has always been up for debate and as technology becomes more and more prevalent, the answer seems to change. In Humanity, Samuel Peralta gives you a glimpse into the world where this question defines each character from the very first page.
The story was fantastic. It grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go. I found myself questioning how I would react in a similar situation and the truth is you couldn’t know for sure unless it happens. I don’t really have to worry about it though because I doubt A.I. (artificial intelligence) will become that advanced within my lifetime. Humanity stuck with me too. I found myself still thinking about it days after I’d read it.
It’s very short and takes no time at all to read. It’s definitely worth reading though. I felt like it was such a quick look into this world that it could be seen as a short prequel. I do hope to see more from this world and hopefully in a full length novel (fingers crossed). I would recommend Humanity, especially to those with a love for short stories and futuristic technology.
