Something has gone wrong with humans.
Sensing that something is off, animals dispatch agents into the human world—only to discover a strange object they bring back with them: the Monitor (a metaphor for AI).
But once it arrives, the Monitor begins to quietly reshape the animal world as well.
Watching Them Humans in the AI Age is a satirical comic collection that explores humanity, technology, and society through the eyes of animals. Blending humor with light philosophy, it invites readers to reflect on what it means to be human in the age of AI.
To warn of the risks emerging from the human world, familiar figures—from Aesop’s fables, The Little Prince, to the Black Swan—reappear, raising questions about humans, animals, and machines alike.
This is a 20-30 minute read comic for thoughtful readers.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Witty, bite-sized reflections on modern human behavior
- Animals questioning whether AI is hope… or something else
- Familiar figures returning with new meaning in the AI age
Perfect for readers who:
Have a strange feeling that animals are observing us
Like thinking about technology, society, and uncertainty
Occasionally suspect the world might not make it to next year
About Will Shin
The publisher STUDENT B is a two-member sibling team composed of one writer and one illustrator.
Will Shin, writer, studied Artificial Intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania, International Development at Harvard, and Business at Northwestern. Guided by a lifelong fascination with animals, history, and knowledge, he builds stories that unify animal perspectives into a single narrative universe. These days, he spends most of his time shaping the philosophical foundations of the Animal Intelligence Universe — or relaxing with his puppy.
Alice Shin, illustrator, majored in Art & Design and later earned her master’s degree in Applied Linguistics at Georgetown University. She works at the intersection of illustration and storytelling, developing knowledge-driven narratives through animal characters. Most days, she can be found caring for her guinea pig or bringing the Animal Intelligence Universe to life through her comic illustration.
The Animal Intelligence project is a long-term creative undertaking that reinterprets not only human history but also modern knowledge — mathematics, physics, economics, philosophy — and explores the future through the eyes of animals. Volume 1 began with a question: What if the memories of both living and extinct beings — everything they learned and felt — formed a single collective archive? The authors suggest that answers humanity may have missed could exist within those accumulated experiences.
The series also incorporates reflections on post-human forms of life. The animals metaphorically hint at possible future beings, though the specifics are not revealed here. Knowing that the author comes from an artificial intelligence background rather than a literary one helps frame the direction of this metaphor.
This first volume provides the conceptual foundation for later reinterpretations of technology, institutions, and future intelligence that will unfold in Volumes 2 and 3. Will and Alice hope readers will see the memories, experiences, and intelligence of animals not just as narrative devices, but as tools for imagining futures beyond the human timeline. They hope the message — that new answers emerge when the memories of many lives are gathered — resonates naturally with both adults and younger readers.
Ultimately, they aim for the series to leave readers with the sense that this is a project that “rereads and recreates our knowledge” and to inspire responsibility toward the life that will come after us.
