Welcome to Human, an anthology exploring what it means to be human.
What defines being human? What makes us human? In the Wizard of Oz, the Tin Woodman had his axe cursed by a witch so that it would cut off a part of him every time he used it; and each piece of him that was cut off was magically replaced by a tin body part. In the end, he had no remaining organic parts; every part of him was constructed from tin. Was he still human?
The stories that follow are short (flash fiction, 1000 words or less) and they tackle this core question in myriad ways.
Having found out about National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in 2003, Tim has written a first draft of a novel every year since then. NaNoWriMo is so much fun that he became a volunteer co-Municipal Liaison for the Illinois::Naperville region. The region features a writing community called the Writing Journey; Tim helped found this in 2007.
Tim is the author of short stories in six anthologies of the Writing Journey.
Tim Yao is a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Nokia.
