The Humans Audiobook by Matt Haig: An Alien’s Odyssey Through the Quirks of Mankind
Imagine a quiet evening, the kind where the stars seem to whisper secrets to those who dare to listen. It was on such a night that I found myself curled up in my favorite armchair, a pair of headphones cradling my ears, and Mark Meadows’ voice ready to transport me through The Humans Audiobook. As an ardent fan of both mystery and sci-fi, this novel promised a unique blend of literature and fiction that beckoned me into its pages – or more accurately, its sound waves.
As the story unfolded, I was introduced to Andrew Martin – not your typical protagonist but an alien impersonator who assumes the identity of a Cambridge mathematics professor. The real Andrew Martin had just solved a mathematical problem pivotal for the advancement of his species, prompting an extraterrestrial intervention. The alien’s mission? To erase all evidence of the discovery and anyone who might have been contaminated by it.
Mark Meadows’ narration was nothing short of stellar. His ability to capture the bewildered innocence of an alien experiencing human life for the first time added layers to Matt Haig’s already rich prose. Each character vibrated with authenticity under Meadow’s care, their voices distinct and resonant with humanity’s multifaceted nature.
Haig’s exploration into what it means to be human through an outsider’s perspective was both humorous and heart-wrenching. He delved into our complexities – our capacity for love and cruelty, our moments of profound wisdom interspersed with baffling absurdities. As I listened, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own human experiences; laughter bubbled up at one moment while introspection took over in another.
The Humans is not just about observing humanity from an alien viewpoint; it is also about learning what it means to feel alive. The alien’s journey is one of enlightenment – a voyage filled with new tastes, sounds, emotions, and connections. It reminded me that sometimes we need an outside perspective to truly appreciate the oddities and beauties of our existence.

Reflecting upon my time spent listening to The Humans, I find myself grateful for stories that challenge us to see beyond our narrow slice of reality. Haig has crafted a narrative that does more than entertain; it provokes thought about our place in the universe and within ourselves. And as Meadows’ voice faded away on that starry night when I concluded my listening session, I felt oddly closer to humanity than ever before.
In closing this review from my little corner of the world wide web – where mystery meets sci-fi meets literature – I am left with a sense of wonderment at Haig’s imaginative prowess and Meadow’s narrative skill. Together they have created an audiobook experience that resonates deeply with those willing to embark on interstellar explorations within their minds.
Eagerly awaiting our next narrative adventure – whether it be grounded on Earth or set amongst distant galaxies – I bid you happy listening until we meet again in another tale spun from words into soundscapes.
Happy listening,
Stephen
