In case you're not sure that this book will change your life and possibly cause you to change your bedsheets, here are some opinions from some humans I found on the internet for the first installment of this series of existentialist Science Fiction and dark Sci-Fi comedy. If you want to see more reviews, check the Amazon page or Goodreads. Just search 'Who Built The Humans?'

★★★ ★★ "An astonishing creation, filled with conjecture and supposition. I can honestly say that I have never read anything like this before. The scope is Universe wide and simultaneously microscopically small and incredibly intense.
Phillip Carter has taken the philosophical idea that all of reality is but the dream of some immense cosmic being and dragged it kicking and screaming into a new existence.
The language is poetic and the ideas challenging both in their execution and in the way consciousness is perceived.
Many strands are interwoven and ultimately connected into a whole much greater than the sum of its parts.
Phillip also infuses the book with an acerbic devastatingly acidic wit compounded with a bone dry sense of humour. The author’s obvious intelligence shines through in both the creative imagination and the beauty of the language, never pandering to any temptation to “dumb down” instead urging the reader to expand their own knowledge and awareness.
This is not a by-the-numbers or trope-driven book following some predetermined and predictable formula but rather an exercise in intellectual science-fiction. It is not the easiest of books to read and understand making all the more worthwhile for it but neither is it so convoluted as to be incomprehensible.
I definitely look forward to reading more by Phillip and highly recommend this to any reader wanting more than genre written pulp."

★★★★★

"Phillip Carter has a knack for the English language. He just gets it. He can snuggle deep in its comfortable blankets, he can sharpen it and use it to scratch your brain, he can juggle it and perform silly little parlour tricks to make you chuckle and then pull the curtain away and suddenly the Statue of Liberty isn't there anymore and you're also on the Moon.

Carter's writing will buy you a rye whiskey in a smoky bar and huddle with you in the corner. It will whisk you away for a six month whirlwind romance and disappear overnight. It will slap you in the face with a joke or an insight that will wake you up and never let you sleep again.

It's a good book, basically.

Carter tells several deeply fascinating sci-fi stories via a series of episodic stories. This stop-start approach may seem off-putting, but Carter is clever enough to use the unique characteristics of an ebook to allow the reader to enjoy the story how they want. You can watch the whole night's programming, jumping between brief explosions of drama and wit, sadness and poetic rhythm, or you can binge watch your favourite show, and when you look up from the end of your adventure at 3 o'clock in the morning, you can start the whole thing all over again.

Did Carter do himself a disservice by including so much material in one collection? It's possible that WBTH could have been more effective as a series of novellas. I wouldn't complain though - the consumer is getting a hefty amount of content here.

There aren't enough unique voices or concepts in literature these days. Carter understands his power to create something beyond. In a world where art is mass-produced and sold wholesale, Carter is redefining what art means."

★★★★★  " whether you're into Douglas Adams or Isaac Asimov or Robert Heinlein, there's something in here for you ."

★★★★★ "Alien architects, infant gods, and your run-of-the-mill tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists are just a few of the people you'll meet within these 47 stories [...] The content aside, the thing I love most about  Who Built The Humans?  is the writing style. The cadence of the story telling is absolutely stunning"

★★★★★ "Incredibly weird, laugh out loud funny and very clever. I had so much fun reading it, but I don't think I'll ever be the same again."

★★★★★ "Carter writes like a madman and that is truly the only way these stories could have been written. Just like the scribblings of a mad genius"

★★★★★ "I ordered this book a few months ago, and had it read within weeks, and I'm a slow reader! If you're looking for the kind of book that really gets your thoughts going, this is perfect. It's exciting, thought-provoking, and the humour is so perfectly placed that it makes it impossible to put down. Absolutely brilliant read, 10/10 would recommend."

★★★★★ "The production of this book, from physical to literal is superb!"

★★★★★ "WBTH is very unique and has its own distinct voice, which I love. It's funny at times and thought-provoking at times and each story brings something new to the table. It's not trying to be the next cookie-cutter crowd pleaser, it's refreshing and fun to read."

Most of my audience live in America. What this means for this British author is that shipping books can sometimes be costly. I made a loss on physical pre-orders for WBTH because I underestimated shipping costs. I am always trying to find better ways of doing things, so if you find a cheaper shipping option for something, let me know by contacting me here or at Halfplanetpress@gmail.com

Digital goods won't have a shipping fee.

Shipping will be cheapest to UK, and then USA. Europe fluctuates based on how the EU is feeling on that particular morning.
