The thrilling and hilarious companion to The Last Human--which is in the works to be a major motion picture from the producers of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse-about a world where robots and humans coexist . . . though the peace between them may not last long-now in paperback It's been a few months now since XR_935 met Emma, a human girl who wasn't supposed to exist. The robots thought that they'd eliminated all humans, but there were still some clinging to survival, who made it through the war. Now the robots and humans live side by side, and the world is so much better for it. They've formed a new society where they live together as equals. Even if XR doesn't always understand the emotions or the disorder of the human's settlement, XR is impressed that they somehow always seem to make it work--especially considering all the terrible things that robots did to humans all those years ago. But some humans are not so quick to forget or forgive what the robots did . . . and a group of humans begins to rise up and rebel against the precarious peace that they've made. Can XR and Emma quell this danger? Or could this be the end of the robots-and the world-as they know it?

En usynlig ven er som en bakke æg. Vi har en udløbsdato. Ligesom for alle de andre slidte stumper af barndommen – det lasede tæppe, den bløde bamse, der er blevet krammet så meget, at dens hoved er blevet mast – vil der komme et tidspunkt, hvor du vokser fra mig. Jeg får kuldegysninger i pelsen bare af at tænke på det. Da du var lille, tog du mig stolt med rundt og præsenterede mig for dem, du mødte. Men nu er du 11. Og jeg er blevet hængende længe efter den normale udløbsdato.
