You, Human Anthology Series
Written Backwards




Description
What does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to be real? What does it mean to exist? What does it mean to be human? Once again, Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics will be re-evaluated and revised to help define humanity, this time by novelettes (7,500 – 15,000 words max).

Three Laws of Humanity:

A human being may not injure another human being or, through inaction, allow another human being to come to harm.
A human being must obey the orders given it by other human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law.
A human being must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second laws.

Accepted genre(s): Dark sci-fi and all blended sub-genres (horror, fantasy, etc.)



This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
  • It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
  • The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
  • The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
  • The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
