Description
Soon to be a major motion picture from the producers of
Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse! In a future when humans are believed
to be extinct, what will one curious robot do when it finds a girl who
needs its help?
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.
