SCI-FI
Synopsis
Humans and computers have long been considered different entities, each with their own strengths and flaws. But in the era of 2520, almost every human is born in tandem with an AI, made to evolve, to become the perfect complement of the human.
Together, they are two, but one. Together, they are the HUMaiN.
About
.HUMaiN is a story I originally created for a Webtoon short story contest in March 2020. In September 2021, I began to convert it to a web novel.
Humanity has advanced to the point of intertwining human and machine to reap the benefits of both - and in doing so, made all these beings plural entities.
