Hes the Mona Lisa.
Hes the atom bomb, Hobbs says.
Hes not wrong: the creation of true artificial life (is that a contradiction?)
would arguably be humanitys finest achievement: accidental or not.
Hobbs leaves one thing out of his list of remarkable things a synth is, however.
Non-conscious Synths are potentially the greatest masturbatory tool since the invention of the right hand.
But its an important question andHumansrefreshingly gets to it early and often.
Niska is the most prominent example.
She also happens to be one of the few conscious synths.
Ultimately Leo fights the man and needs an assist from his synth companion Max to get out alive.
But is Leo alive in the traditional sense?
Elsewhere, the men onHumansreact to synths sexually even if theyre not fully aware of it.
Obviously, Toby Hawkins is having a fairly sexual response to Anita.
Cock-blocked by parental controls yet again.
Whyd they have to make you so fit?
Toby opines as he heads back to bed.
Peter Drummond has a sexual response to his synth in a way thats a little less obvious.
His preposterously fit male synth knows how to take care of his disabled wife better than he does.
Were losing ourselves, Karen.
To which she responds: Oh really?
Because all the bad things that have happened to me were done by other people.
Humansis slowly but surely building the case that human beings are our own worst enemy.
Even the still, unconscious synths illustrate this our own worst enemy trope well.
George is finally assigned a new synth to replace Odie (who he has hidden in a garage).
Youre not a helper, youre a jailer, he says.
The state does not trust George to take care of himself so theyve created something that will.
Its too early inHumansrun to confidently conclude anything but I believe her.
That robots got a bad poker face.
