The Department of What It (Really) Means to be Human

The Department of What It (Really) Means to be Human is told with a consistent gentleness, and generosity, that gives [its] philosophical questions room to breathe.
— Niall Harrison, LOCUS February 2026

A near-future real-life society transitions to a post-capitalist, post-climate change reality.

The Department Of What It (Really) Means To Be Human is a thoughtful, optimistic novel set in a near-future Aotearoa New Zealand where an investigator navigates a newly postcapitalist world in their search for a missing artist.

When the world changed, Emerald Hutson closed the door on their old life. Now they’re a freelance investigator for the Grants and Stipends Office, augmenting basic income with cases that are both simple and easily resolved.
