About this deal

For all its later outbreaks of Vonnadorian mawkishness, The Humans still deserves to live long and prosper.

some of the advice on the list did not seem realistic for an alien who's only been on Earth a few months, so that the voice of the author interfered with my enjoyment of his story. When he is released from the hospital, he wipes away the evidence of the Riemann hypothesis on Andrew Martin’s computer and kills his mentor, with whom Andrew Martin had discussed his solution. A novel with an enormous heart, infused with a sense of gratitude for everything that makes us who we are.Humans, as a rule, don't like mad people unless they are good at painting, and only then once they are dead. Within his story, Haig uses his first-person narrator to explore themes on what it means to be human, how to pursue happiness, and the power of embracing love. I would have liked an entire book of this: just a doofy alien in human form walking around the modern world trying—and failing—to make sense of it. We are seeking a priest who will help us to grow missionally, discipling and nurturing those in our midst; someone who is prepared to meet people where they are at, bringing the light and love of Christ into new lives. In a Matt Haig trademark 'this story is bigger than you think' style, he takes a look at humanity from the external viewpoint of an alien that has removed the professor from his body and taking it over to execute his mission to limit the progress of Human civilisation.

As he becomes more comfortable on Earth, he develops irrational feelings for Andrew Martin’s family and friends.

With my grief not being a linear process there are days when I am hit again with an almost unbearable sadness. The probability of a particular individual’s conception, simple guilty pleasures like peanut butter, and the absurdness of some human rituals made for a laugh. Professor Martin solved the Riemann hypothesis, thus confirming the possibilities of extraterrestrial life and the potential for human progress.

It's just the pure number of them (and a little bit of me felt the author was trying to be clever by attempting to use science too) constantly jarred me. I actually went back and watched it again last week, great cast and inspiring message, especially now.Does anyone with knowledge of math have any comments on the premise that advancements in basic math will ultimately (inexorably? I don't doubt that to some extent this is true, but are there any known examples of math problems that, if solved, would immediately result in engineering advancements? But the universe decides we aren't ready for such massive knowledge and sends an alien to kill, then inhabit the body of Andrew, with the mission to remove any evidence of his findings.
