The Last Human is sci-fi story exploring a post-human galaxy hundreds of thousands of years in the future. In this setting, humanity is the progenitor race that was the first to colonize the stars. Most alien species are not “true” aliens. Many are derived from species from Earth, having undergone the process of uplift into sapience or an approximation of it. Humans are largely mythical, viewed as a once an all-powerful race. Some aliens hate humanity for bestowing them sapience. Others worship the ground under their feet. But most of the galaxy wouldn’t recognize one by appearance. The story follows the recollections of Vas, a human boy who grew up on an insectoid hive world. The narrative is his recounting from how he went from a slave to one of the most feared individuals in the galaxy.
