mexscrabbler 's review for:

The Last Human by Zack Jordan
4.0

I read this science fiction book during a two week vacation. It is very innovative and thought-provoking. It deals with a dystopian (?) future where the human race has been excluded from the league of universal beings (the "Network") for being too aggressive and non-conforming. Apparently the human race was instigated by a malevolent species to use technology which they were not ready for, and - true to form - the humans did not use it wisely.

The main protagonist is a lone human who has been adopted by an arachnid species, and is living incognito amongst other members of the Network (humans are not allowed). The human embarks on a quest to reconnect with the remnants of its race, which have survived in a small corner of space, disconnected from the Network.

The novel raises important topics of free choice vs. community.

It was quite enjoyable.
