What's The Last Human About

Publisher Summary

In the future, robots have eliminated humans, and 12-year-old robot XR_935 is just fine with that. Without humans around, there is no war, no pollution, no crime. Every member of society has a purpose. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Until the day XR discovers something impossible: a human girl named Emma. Now, Emma must embark on a dangerous voyage with XR and two other robots in search of a mysterious point on a map. But how will they survive in a place where rules are never broken and humans aren’t supposed to exist? And what will they find at the end of their journey? Humorous, action-packed, and poignant, The Last Human tells a story about friendship, technology, and challenging the status quo no matter the consequences. It’s not just about what it means to be a robot—it’s about what it means to be a friend.

    I'm not always a fan of robot characters, but this is terrific storytelling. Funny, touching, inspiring. (I'll say this, the cover doesn't do it justice. IMO makes it look like a gimmicky robot story, but there's a lot of depth, emotion, and relevance to this.)
