'Matt Haig's hilarious novel puts our species on the spot' - Guardian 'A wonderfully funny, gripping and inventive novel. Like Kurt Vonnegut and Audrey Niffenegger, Haig uses the tropes of science fiction to explore and satirise concepts of free will, love, marriage, logic, immortality and mercy with elegance and poignancy' - The Times 'Great idea, great plot and superb comedy, especially from the alien's puzzled analyses of primitive human ways' - Daily Mail 'Matt Haig is a supreme talent and a writer to cherish, and The Humans is undoubtedly his magnum opus' - Guardian 'A novel with an enormous heart, infused with a sense of gratitude for everything that makes us who we are' - Charlotte Heathcote '' -.
