★★★★★ "whether you're into Douglas Adams or Isaac Asimov or Robert Heinlein, there's something in here for you."
Who Built The Humans? is a novel length collection of mindbending short stories, some of which come together to form their own novellas inside the book. At 125,000 words, it's a multiverse in the palm of your hand.
Meet Lax Morales
TV personality, founder of Virtualism, and possibly an alien spider from an alternate reality. His story starts with the Swamphenge UFO crash and ends with a teenager called Darlene luring him to the swamps to kill him, because she thinks he killed her sister. In what could be his final moments, Lax has to convince Darlene that she's wrong, whilst fighting off the murderous psychic influence of the horrifying greymen waiting across the water.
Nori Furukawa
Dubbed 'Spooky Nori' by his peers, this eccentric professor has just announced to the world that he has invented time travel. His plan? To lure real time travellers back from the future so he can capture them and steal their tech.
Lucy
An intelligent afterlife machine trapped on a parallel Earth. In her timeline humans are long extinct, and it is her life's mission to drag them back from the abyss, even as the universe itself tries to stop her.
T'Kxa
A reptilian archaeologist on a secretive final mission, T'kxa is exploring one of the last 1000 planets in the universe. She's searching for evidence of the 'ancient ones', an enigmatic race of technologically advanced beings who could stop the stars from dying. T'Kxa's people don't believe in supernovas, but they are about start believing if she can't find what she's looking for. What she doesn't know is that she's looking in the wrong place. The 'ancient ones' are closer than she thinks.
Tin foil Tim
The world's bestselling 'proberotica' novelist, Tin foil Tim left his office job to pursue a life writing steamy romances about that time he was abducted by aliens. What the world doesn't know yet is that the stories are true.
A multiverse in the palm of your hand.
WBTH soars from mindbending Science Fiction to delirious comedy at breakneck speeds, bringing the reader along for a ride that seamlessly combines time travel with simulation theory, immortality cults with alien abduction, and squid-like alien overlords with jokes about the dark future we might be hurtling towards.
Science Fiction just got weirder.
Who Built The Humans? represents a new sub-genre of science fiction. It's a 'Novelthology' guaranteed to get you hooked into Carter's growing multiverse. Each of its 11 universes can be enjoyed individually, or as parts to a greater whole.
This is a standalone book, but shares some characters and locations with the upcoming HOLOGRAM KEBAB and THE STEPHANIE GLITCH
More reviews (Goodreads)
★★★★★ "Carter writes like a madman and that is truly the only way these stories could have been written. Just like the scribblings of a mad genius"
★★★★★ "Alien architects, infant gods, and your run-of-the-mill tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists are just a few of the people you'll meet within these 47 stories [...] The content aside, the thing I love most about Who Built The Humans? is the writing style. The cadence of the story telling is absolutely stunning"
