The Author is an alien researcher who studied the history of Humans and their descendants and authored a book on the subject, All Tomorrows.
At the end of the book, there is a picture of the author holding a billion year old Human skull in a tentacle-like appendage attached to the middle of their body.
The author does not know how humanity went extinct, but in their opinion, it is the trip that matters, anyway. They would also encourage the readers to "love today, and seize all tomorrows."
Biology[]
The Author belongs to a non-humanoid species with a bilaterally symmetrical, hairless body and an erect posture. Comparing them to the Human skull that they are holding, it can be deduced that the Author is relatively short, around 90 cm or 3 ft tall.
In spite of their size, the Author's head is relatively large, possessing two large lobes and an eye-like organ with two pupils. They appear to wear clothing in the form of a long shirt with a pronounced collar, concealing whatever legs and lower body they may have; although one long arm emerges from the axis of his body. The arm seems to be jointless, equipped with at least three fingers and one distant thumb.
Although nothing is known about what kind of environment the Author dwells in, from the image it can be shown that it at least contains tree-like organisms.

- The Author's species, along with the Qu, Amphicephali, and the unnamed invaders of the Bug Facers, are the only truly alien beings (as in not having human ancestors) in All Tomorrows.
