Description

Earths Engineers are a double-edged sword. They can fix or improve anything, but no sane Xeno Engineer will touch it if it carries the Human Altered warning..

A series of interconnected tales from our distant future. It's not a novel, most of the chapters are stand-alone.

Also thanks for the awards.

    Overpowered humans in spaaaaaace!!
    Have a look at the reddit sub for more like it.
    Another author on RR which also creates HFY is paradigmblue (Spellgun & Prey).
    This may not be to everyone's taste but HFY is a guilty pleasure of mine so thanks Yousureimnotarobot :)

    If you like Heinlein you will like this. It is a light easy read with a positive human-centric note. This optimism is quite scarce nowadays so I found it very funny and uplifting.

    Ok, the history clips at the beginning are great, this story needs more spiced in. But the potential novel that is building could be awesome

    I am loving this story. It makes me want to live in that universe at that time. It's just the type of story that I love! It's not one long cohesive story, but a grouping of short and medium-sized stories all taking place in the same universe and showcasing the same types of people, namely overpowered human engineers. The only people who truly understand what keeps the universe spinning and keeps the spaceships flying.
    It has just enough humor and snark. Plus it plays our good side up and our negative points down. It makes humanity almost look like I wish it was. But then again I am an engineer at heart.

    100% pure goodness.
    Higly recommended.
    It reminds me of those "humans are weird" text from reddit.

    Starts out as engineering fanfic but accidentally does great world building that lends itself to a series of short stories. I really enjoyed this series, it might be one of my favourites on here.

    Bookmark it and keep an eye on it, because it's a keeper.
    It reminds of Deathworlders series.
    Humanity reached the stars and instead of taking technology as they received it, they instead reverse engineered and researched everything, becoming even better than it's original creators.
    Then, to share their technology with their allies, engineeres were placed on their ships to maintain their systems and protect their knowledge. Thus, on all ship systems they worked on, a sign would be visible "Human Altered".
    English is not my native language, so please ignore any mistakes above.

    This is a well written piece of fiction, at times the hilarity of human nature screams at you

    TL;DR: Ever heard of /r/HFY ? This is the standard example
    This is the standard example of /r/HFY stories - it's a propagandistic human-centric light sci-fi novel/story. It's not perfect, but if you like the genre, you'll like this one.

    It is entirely possible for some one to be a professional engineer and still also be a faithful practitioner and believer in religion. Also, to me at least, the whole “ai is real consciousness” thing is just silly. Also some of the interconnected stories just seem to drag on just a little too much.
