"Like the scribblings of a mad genius," - Goodreads ... On one end of the multiverse, Nori Furukawa reinvents the time machine, uncovering the truth about the Swamphenge UFO crash and discovering that reality itself is in danger. On the other end of the multiverse, Sarbrox the Atanattat looms over an abandoned parallel Earth, waiting for an intervention from that long-extinct creature, the Human. In the middle, nine other universes coalesce, their timelines twisting over and around each other. Who Built The Humans is a ridiculous ride through soaring science fiction and searing satire where 47 chapters and 11 universes connect to form one seriously weird fragmented novel. It will blow your mind, it will make you laugh, it will unplug your simulation as you sleep. 1) Lucy''s universe. An intelligent afterlife machine tries to lure humans back to Earth long after her abandonment. 2) The Furukawa universe. Brigid Pearson and Nori Furukawa uncover a time-loop revelation that might prove the existence of alien life. 3) The On-Series universe. Tin foil Tim''s touching probing adventure clashes with a universe of darkly satirical lyrical storytelling. 4) Felix''s universe. Stumbling from the wreckage of his car, Felix notices something watching him. 5) Dwindling universe. In the distant future, two reptilian archaeologists search for a sign of an ancient escape from the end of time. 6) Wooden robots universe. A little boy called God (no relation) turns into a weird teenager who turns into a weirder old man. Expect cosmic buffoonery on an unreasonable scale. 7) Anette''s universe. A mysterious signal is translated by an advanced AI. The message: Something is on its way to Earth, don''t tell the humans. 8) Architect''s universe. Your life is an old game, and the players are disinterested alien octopuses from a higher reality. 9) Finality universe. At a predestined bottleneck in time, the Descendant awaits the arrival of a terrifying old concept, uncertainty. 10) Stephanie''s universe. A potato-obsessed Engineer tries to teach her ship''s autopilot how to have a sense of humour. Meanwhile, Stephanie is busy trying to appear like a normal human being and failing miserably. 11) Traveller universe. In this final universe, a nameless traveller fights to avoid the Hunters. Her survival depends on the Remembrance, a mythical talking planet that can rebuild galactic empires from memory.

At the Zenith cocktail bar, one man is about to answer a burning question about reincarnation and our place in the cosmos.

PaganAaron FraleJohn CoonPhillip CarterRobin Drown Arranged by Author-Comedian hybrid and bigfoot lookalike Phillip Carter, this book is a wild adventure into comedy that proves that Science Fiction can be a lot more than sulky protagonists and miserable weather. It can be silly, twisted, and downright ridiculous too. If you like your Sci-Fi with a comedic edge, you're in the right place.

A deliberately crass Sci-Fi Comedy from the guy who wrote WHO BUILT THE HUMANS, Hologram Kebab is a short story that balances its existential edge with a relentless humour, creating a small universe in which not even death can prevent a hangover, and where kebabs (and your ex) might actually be a hologram.Sound fun?

In the cold and isolated forest, a mycelial network waits for its next meal. But when a new alien being, an 'Upright' collapses into the hyphae, the network consumes more than it bargained for. Its mind poisoned with Upright thoughts, the One becomes Two, splintering into a new, ambitious personality. The fungus has discovered the concept of individuality, and this will have disastrous consequences.

Leaving behind little Viktor, Galina Agafonov heads for Jupiter on a secret mission; to make first contact with a stranded alien spaceship, and to bring any survivors back to Earth. But something changes when they are close enough to see the craft through the cockpit window. The ancient machine speaks, and a million years slip away.Buried by an avalanche of time, Galina finds herself far from home, surrounded by fantastic technology, yet with no means to return to little Viktor.

Two reptilian archaeologists hunt for an ancient alien technology that can reignite the stars. With all but one planet searched in their sector, their attentions turn to a previously explored jungle world. All reports say the place is feral, never touched by the Ancient Ones. But T'Kxa and Aelak refuse to give up hope for their dying cosmos. Here, in the fertile soil of a doomed fledgling world, they might not find pyramids or starships or star-savers, but they will find something stranger, something which rewrites the story of the Ancient Ones.- Originally published in Who Built The Humans?, this short story about the end of the universe is a glimpse into Carter's strange imagination that deserves to be appreciated as a standalone piece. It is stories like Once There Were Others which form the philosophical backbone of his larger and interconnected works.

Nine days after Earth died, Susie wakes up, surrounded by alien spiders who claim to be here to help. Her home is gone, and she has no choice but to rely on these strange aliens, to learn their language, and to navigate a universe more alive, and more deadly, than her ancestors could have imagined. Sailing through space in a hollowed-out moon, Susie and spider-alien 'Michael' must find a way to defeat the world-eater, or at least, somewhere they can hide until something bigger kills it.
