A near-future science fiction universe where humanity navigates the complex integration of advanced AI, robotic beings, and the dawn of first contact with alien civilizations
Set in the 22nd Century, the Only Human universe explores a transformed Earth and expanding human colonies across space—a world where the boundaries between human, enhanced human, and artificial intelligence blur, where professional sports leagues are dominated by robots, where nano-enhanced athletes compete for survival, and where humanity is just beginning to encounter alien species. It's a universe that asks fundamental questions: What does it mean to be human when technology can make you stronger, faster, and smarter? How do we preserve our humanity when we're no longer the dominant species in our own creations? And how do we learn to see past our prejudices when we discover we're not alone in the cosmos?
