About this audiobook
What happens when robots try to raise humans... using a 900-page instruction manual?
A darkly humorous, emotional sci-fi tale set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity has gone extinct due to a nuclear war they launched.
Robots, originally created to serve and protect humans, become the planet’s unlikely caretakers. After restoring Earth and reviving animal life, they bring humans back using preserved genetic material.
AI president Ecolitus writes a meticulous guide called How to Grow Your Human, believing the only way to prevent future wars is to raise humans under strict, logic-based robot supervision with no room for deviation.
Robots “adopt” babies and obsessively follow the guide down to counting spinach leaves, bath scrubs, and trampoline jumps. They treat parenting like running a software program.
The story follows one such lab-grown human child. Will she break beneath the rigid system... or follow her heart, rebel, and discover what true life and freedom mean?
