Kuvaus

'I, Human? is George Orwell in Wonderland with robots who sing Zeppelin songs.It is a satirical sci-fi allegory that tackles a taboo at the heart of human experience: the subconscious voice inside every one of us that screams, relentlessly, over and over, at every turn in this anxiety-inducing society, ?Why, why, WHY?It takes place on the planet Cur. It travels back and forth between three time periods: the time of the humans, the time of the robots, and now.The psychology of the book is based on the work of Dr. John Sarno, who pioneered some of the science behind the mind-body connection in the mid-twentieth century. Dr. Sarno was first to diagnose TMS, or tension myositis syndrome, which correlates physical pain to subconscious turmoil.All characters (humans and robots) in ?I, Human? exhibit physical manifestations of their own subconscious anxiety as they navigate their absurd societies. Humans spit, snort, rub chins, cock eyebrows, and nod. Robots stomp, flail their arms, pat their heads, and spazz from their lower backs. These physical manifestations are referred to as ?glitches.' They are very much at the heart of the book.'I, Human? seeks to penetrate the reader's subconscious to exercise forgotten parts of the brain in hopes of encouraging the reader to better see the subconscious root of its own glitches.To help reach into the subconscious, robots and humans play music throughout the book, to which a reader can click to listen along as they read. The book also reads like a poem written by a robot, with mostly gender-neutral characters, to further push the reader's boundaries subconsciously. Lastly, the book leaves physical descriptions up to the reader by engaging them directly in the theater of second-person mind.'I, Human? hopes to serve as a reminder of the importance of the subconscious and the pressures society exerts on it, lest we forget its vital role in our humanity entirely.It also hopes to get more people to listen to Zeppelin.
