I am not a fan of sci fi at all. But Haig's 'The Humans' is a realistic fiction book about the complexities and beauties of humanity, with the sci fi as an undercurrent that even vehemently anti sci fi folks can love. I have reread this book many many times and cry every time. Haig has such a way with words, writing this lighthearted, funny and heart breaking story with such a gentle prose that you cant look away. His chapter Advice for Humans is a handful of pages i've reread over and over and over again. It is life changing it rearranged my molecules I have suggested this book more than once to everyone I have met.
