The Last Working Man

Sasha Portelli

In a future where employment is a relic of the past, cities have become vast robotic ecosystems, their human-built structures engulfed by swarms of nanomites that mimic black sand. Humanity has retreated to rural compounds, living for free off the bounty of the automated megapolises.

But the march towards total automation is incomplete. Obsessed with achieving perfect efficiency, the technocratic masters of this new world push relentlessly towards 100% automation. Yet they encounter an unexpected anomaly: Bardhyl Imron, the last working man, who defies automation.

Bardhyl must navigate the surreal and treacherous landscape of a workplace transformed beyond human comprehension, while his fellow humans in the compounds descend into chaos and savagery. In this gripping tale, the boundaries between man and machine dissolve, revealing a universal truth: the essence of an intelligent being lies in its quest for freedom. Discover the fate of humanity in a world where the only constant is the desire to be free.
