Description

The Intergalactic Committee has decided it's time for Earth to join the cosmic family. But there's a catch-rogue cyborgs, rebellious factions, and downright malicious species are doing everything in their power to delay the invitation. Will the Committee arrive in time to warn humanity of its impending doom, or will the humans' greed, egocentric thirst for power, pollution, and climate change lead them to destroy their own home?

The evolved alien species of the Committee understand a crucial truth: all life is interconnected. In their eyes, kicking someone else's ass is like hurting your own foot-you never know when someone's wearing steel pants: War and broken feet are distractions from far more exciting things, like exploring galaxies and sampling weird cosmic food.

The Committee sees potential in Earthlings, though. They view us as a scrappy, emotional, snotty little species, much like children throwing sand in the sandbox-unaware of the power we hold and how much damage we can cause. Unfortunately, some of us grow up to become the very forces that tear worlds apart.

But the Committee isn't here to point fingers; they're here to offer a solution. There's enough cosmic slime for everyone, they say. The true battle, however, is not about climbing the ladder to world domination or fighting for territory-it's about climbing within ourselves. The greatest conflict we face is the struggle between fear and love.

The Committee invites us to build something together-a sandcastle of shared wisdom and love-one that's bigger and better than anything we could create áloñe. Or, of course, we could always choose to stomp around the sandbox and destroy each other's creations.

So, hello humans, welcome to the Intergalactic Committee. We've got a universe to explore, and we can either do it together, or we can keep fighting over the toys in the sandpit. The choice is ours.

The Intergalactic Committee has decided it's time for Earth to join the cosmic family. But there's a catch-rogue cyborgs, rebellious factions, and downright malicious species are doing everything in...

Aliens Are Judging Us and Honestly Fair Enough
Hello Humans is a sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt sci fi story that holds up a cosmic mirror to humanity and dares us to do better.

Hello Humans by Momo Ko Uno this was such a fun outstanding space story the descriptions of the different aliens all tend to make sense from the octopus to the military cats, Princess Doughnut and so many more. The book reads more like a fairytale than a real space story because two princesses get kidnapped one for much longer than the other there’s an evil sibling. We even learn why the Grays get a bad rap and threw it all they’re trying to decide whether or not to let the humans in the United Galaxy Association. There’s so much fun to be had in this book and don’t even get me started on poor Kenny. I really enjoyed this book thoroughly and once I started reading I didn’t stop until it was over this book, it is compelling reading at its best and a few love humorous books about space you will absolutely enjoy this one. #NetGalley, #TheBlindReviewer, #MyHonestReview,

I picked up Hello Humans expecting a fun sci fi story, and I ended up with something far more thoughtful. The book follows an intergalactic committee debating whether Earth is ready to join a larger cosmic family, while a series of strange and often hilarious encounters reveal just how messy humanity really is. I loved how the humor never undercut the deeper message about fear, love, and personal responsibility, and I found myself smiling one minute and quietly reflecting the next. It was an easy and entertaining read that still gave me a lot to think about after I finished.

This book looked at humanity and said wow you really need a timeout.

I had way too much fun reading Hello Humans. It is weird, funny, sharp, and way smarter than it first lets on. You get aliens with strong opinions, humans making terrible choices, and a whole lot of truth wrapped in humor. I loved how it calls us out without being preachy and somehow makes big stuff like climate change and fear feel personal and relatable. If you like sci fi that makes you laugh, wince, and maybe rethink how you treat the planet and each other, you should absolutely read this one 👽✨
