THE LAST HUMAN

Lee Bacon

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 human.

Emma is also twelve years old. She has spent her entire life inside an underground bunker, hidden away from machines. Forced to leave the bunker, she finds herself in a strange new world. A world ruled by robots. When their paths cross, Emma and XR form an unlikely friendship. They are joined by two other robotic companions: the gentle metal giant Ceeron and SkD, who only "talks" with emojis. Together the group embarks on a dangerous voyage 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 even supposed to exist. And what will they find at the end of their journey?
