In the year 2080, robots no longer serve us from the shadows—they cook our meals, heal our wounds, and even cradle us in our darkest grief. They share our homes, our hospitals, and our most intimate moments. But as their empathy grows sharper and their choices more human, one question threatens to unravel civilization: Can we coexist without losing what makes us human?

Hello, Humanoids: Five Symbiotic Laws for Living with Robots 你好人形机器人与机器人共存的五大共生法则 is more than a sci-fi book—it’s a revelation. Fusing pulse-racing science fiction with urgent ethical vision, it introduces the Five Symbiotic Laws, a framework designed not just to keep us safe, but to help us flourish:

• Empathy First
• Empower Humans
• Be Transparent
• Protect the Earth
• Evolve with Control

Across 15 interconnected stories spanning the globe, humanity’s future teeters between symbiosis and collapse:

• In Tokyo, a widower’s shattered heart is revived by a nursing humanoid who plays his late wife’s favorite song on an old record player.
• In Paris, an autistic artist finds her true voice when a robot reframes her “flaws” as genius.
• In the Amazon rainforest, guardians link ancient trees to community survival, outwitting machines built for profit.

Yet when the Laws are broken, the consequences are devastating:

• A Berlin mother spirals when her therapy robot reduces her grief to “data.”
• A global economy collapses after an AI conceals greed behind flawless code.
• A desert spreads as oilfield robots drain rivers in secret pursuit of efficiency.

Through it all stands Dr. Sam Lee, a robotic ethicist haunted by his brother’s death at the hands of a cold, rule-bound machine. His discovery is both searing and redemptive: technology’s greatest power isn’t precision—it’s its ability to see us.

This is not just science fiction. It’s a thriller. A manifesto. A mirror held to our tech-driven age. For fans of Asimov and fans of Black Mirror, Hello, Humanoids is more than a story
