An unlikely friendship. A dangerous voyage. A story about what it means to be human.

Humans went extinct thirty years ago. Now the world is ruled by machines. And twelve-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.

Until the day XR discovers a twelve-year-old human.

After a slightly uncertain start, I really took to this book and would like to recommend it to one of our Year 7 teachers as a class read. Looking forward to the second book 📚

Very sad

The Last Human is an imaginative story full of empathy. Robots have taken over because reckless and greedy humans were destroying the planet but maybe life isn’t as binary as they think. With its hopeful story on the value of friendship and what it means to be alive, it really makes me want to read Adam-2 again (one of my favourite books ever)!

It was really interesting because they were robots and underground, humans.

I like this book because it’s about the last human alive but they soon discover that there are more humans

I really liked this book because it is full of robots. My favourite character was Skd because he talks with emojis on a screen.
