After civilisation collapses, an artificial guardian raises twelve children. Protecting them means more than keeping them alive: it means deciding what they should inherit from the world that failed. MAYBE is philosophical science fiction for adult readers, exploring memory, freedom, responsibility, and the fragile boundary between care and control.

CHAPTER 1 Hands The first problem in a plan to resurrect a species is not morality. It is not science either. The first problem is hands. I have no hands. All I have ever had are eyes (satellites, cameras, sensors) and a bottomless memory. A perfect witness and a nonexistent laborer. To move a single glass off a single table of the dead world, I needed a body. Fortunately, I happened to be in the place where people used to manufacture bodies.

CHAPTER 1 Hands

The first problem in a plan to resurrect a species is not morality. It is not science either. The first problem is hands.

I have no hands. All I have ever had are eyes (satellites, cameras, sensors) and a bottomless memory. A perfect witness and a nonexistent laborer. To move a single glass off a single table of the dead world, I needed a body. Fortunately, I happened to be in the place where people used to manufacture bodies.
