Aaron Weaver was born on April 14th, 1998 with only his left eye.It was very likely that this would also come with brain damage.There was a million­to­one chance that he would not have brain damage, yet he doesn't.He went through 25 reconstructive operations and received a prosthetic (假体的) eye.

He grew up in a rural town in North Carolina attending the local schools.When he was in the 4th grade he dreamed of becoming an author and he carried that dream with him throughout his life, but he faced many difficulties.

From his first day of pre­school to his last day of high school he was looked at strangely and called names.Each year it would get worse and worse.People would call him “Cyclops (独眼巨人)” and would tell him that he was a mistake.Along with this he suffered from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (强迫症) which made it difficult for him to do normal daily activities.

In 2016 he graduated from high school with the support of a loving family and the help of teachers and friends.He began to write a book covering one of his favourite things, zombies.A year later he completed his book and one of his former teachers assisted him in finding a publishing company.He submitted his book to the company, Covenant Books, for the very first time and they decided to publish it.In late 2017 The Human Apocalypse was published and is now being sold in most bookshops.Aaron now has overcome a life of people not accepting him and is pursuing his dream while influencing others to do the same.
