More DescriptionMarc Logan reluctantly took on the burden of humanity's dwindling hopes. In a daring experiment, Marc's mind is transferred into a combat robot: the ultimate weapon that could tip the scales in the war against a ruthless alien race. But before Marc can attempt to resist the invasion as a robot, even the last bastion of resistance is crushed, and humans are exterminated, leaving Marc in the most complete solitude. Immortal and invulnerable, an exile in a desolate land, imprisoned in an artificial body that can offer him very few pleasures: thus begins the new life of the last "man", torn between the desire for revenge and the longing for peace, teetering between despair and contemplation, devoid of a true purpose that can still give meaning to his existence... In this work, Dino Toniolo allows both his love for science-fiction and ethical and spiritual considerations to converge, making this text not only a gripping dystopian short-story but also, above all, an intimate coming-of-age novel.
