Brett Hodnett<p>Review of HUMAN by The Reading Bud. Sounds compelling :)</p><p>'Spanning timelines that leap not just decades but millions of years, HUMAN is a genre-bending, mind-expanding tale that defies easy categorization. At its heart, this novel is about survival, of the individual, the species, and above all, of meaning. What happens when humanity is pushed to its limits? What remains?</p><p>We begin in the aftermath of an environmental apocalypse, with Ayla and a group of survivors trying to rebuild society from the ashes of catastrophe. This is not your typical dystopia. There’s a measured quietness here, an introspective tone that lingers on community, on language, and on grief. As the book unfolds, we shift to completely different worlds—one thousands of years in the future, under the ocean, with genetically evolved descendants of humanity like Kakapen and Emee; and then again, even deeper into a far-flung speculative future.</p><p>What’s striking is how seamlessly author Hodnett moves between perspectives. The transitions from Ayla and Luke, to Edvar and Ilusia, to Isko, to Kakapen and Emee, and beyond—all build toward a cumulative meditation on what it means to be human in any form. Despite wildly different settings and physical realities, there’s a throughline of connection, love, and the need to be seen.</p><p>The novel is also deeply anthropological. It’s not just worldbuilding, it’s world-layering. We see how cultures form, how language evolves, and how rituals replace memories. And even when society becomes alien, the emotions remain achingly familiar.</p><p>Stylistically, the writing is clean, at times sparse, but rich with internal reflection. Author Hodnett allows silent moments to breathe and trusts the reader to engage with the ideas without excessive exposition. And while some readers may find the multi-era structure disorienting, I found it quite satisfying as if I were reading a long, braided essay disguised as speculative fiction.</p><p>If I have a quibble, it’s only that certain sections—especially in the second and third narrative strands—could benefit from more emotional grounding. Sometimes the ideas leap ahead of the character arcs. But the final act brings it all together with poignant clarity.</p><p>In short, HUMAN is an ambitious, genre-straddling novel that asks questions instead of giving answers. It’s perfect for readers who loved Cloud Atlas, The Overstory, or Annihilation—and for anyone who finds themselves wondering, not just what our future holds, but what kind of people we become to survive it.'</p><p><a href="https://thereadingbud.com/2025/07/27/book-review-human-by-brett-hodnett/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thereadingbud.com/2025/07/27/b</span><span class="invisible">ook-review-human-by-brett-hodnett/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Human" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Human</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SelfPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPublishing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BookMarketing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookMarketing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ReadAllTheBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReadAllTheBooks</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WhatToRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatToRead</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BookBlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookBlog</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Readers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Readers</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BrettHodnett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrettHodnett</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SpeculativeFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpeculativeFiction</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritersOfMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastadon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SFF</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SF</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceFiction</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writers</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Livres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Livres</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HumanEvolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanEvolution</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PostApocalypse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostApocalypse</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ApocalypticFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ApocalypticFiction</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FutureImaginary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FutureImaginary</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Evolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Evolution</span></a></p>
