Summary
A man near his thirties wakes up in an unknown yet subtly familiar world where androids and machine life-forms wage a war that has lasted millennia. Soon he will find that mankind is long extinct, with androids being the only living legacy of humanity. Cohabiting with them, this last human will have to adapt and leave his cold and cynical shell behind to make some genuine bonds, for the events he will soon get dragged into can't be overcome by a lone human.
Both him and his eventual companions will come to know the crudity of war, violence, bloodlust, hate... All humanity represents at its worst; on the other hand going through this ordeal together, friendship, compassion, affection and even love will arise, making for a complex set of emotions, decisions and actions which all the living are meant to face.
In time, this will pose unavoidable questions. Are androids more human than us? Were we cruel parents who left their children behind to fight an endless war?Does being the last survivor of our species carry any real meaning?
Or is it just an instinctual excuse to atone, in seek of relief, for the sins of our parents?
