"Human 2.0" is an Album from a Swedish Grindcore band Nasum.

The band came up with the title during 1999 as a reference to some of the panic over issues such as the Y2K bug. The album was developed after the first "Matrix" movie.

For the album, the band decided that they wanted the cover to be white in order to stand out from the many dark album covers that other bands used.

Although the album Inhale/Exhale was never released in Japan, Relapse had made a deal with Ritual Records/Howling Bull for "Human 2.0". The band had already come up with the idea of updating the title to the Japanese release and make it "Human 2.01", with additional bonus tracks.

The album contains a number of references to popular culture. For example, the song "Resistance" uses a quote from the movie The Matrix: "I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer." The song "Sometimes Dead is Better" also uses the quote "Welcome to the desert of the real." Also, in the song "Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow", the beginning quote is from the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

"Shadows" has become one of the band's most well-known songs.
