The Last Human is a page turning, action packed adventure set in a world dominated by technology. XR_935 and Emma's adventure leads them into contact with HunterBots, RetrievalBots and EnforcementBots, a showdown with the President and revelations that will change their whole society. It is also a story of friendship and acceptance, a story in which the robots must overcome prejudice in order to help a scared, but not at all evil, human. - Story Snug
Intelligent, witty and thought-provoking all at the same time, this is a superb slice of scifi for middle graders. - Read it, Daddy
Bacon blends humour, adventure, themes of prejudice, friendship and acceptance, and moments of heartfelt emotion in a clever, compelling story that explores the complexity of being human through the objective eye of a robot. - Pam Norfolk, Chorley Guardian
A great addition to any school library - English Association
