Night snow, winter, and an extreme wind chill mean ten minutes to a frozen death in open air. Alan Mathison is headed home on an icy highway, on a collision course that will test his humanity. From award-winning author Samuel Peralta comes Humanity, a provocative short story that asks the question: What is it that makes us human? Humanity is one of a series of standalone stories about a labyrinthine world where time travel is just beginning to be realized, where pervasive surveillance by telepaths is a part of life, where non-human self-awareness has begun to make humanity face difficult questions about itself. Welcome to the Labyrinth. Welcome to Humanity.
