THE LAST HUMAN BEING is a collection of short stories that transport you to a tangible atmosphere of white sand and turquoise sea in the midst of a Caribbean paradise. Through a mosaic of emotions-existential hustle and bustle and melancholy for a dystopian future-the work stands as a catalyst for exploring human connections and experiencing life intensely. With a narrative that oscillates between the poetic and the philosophical, the author constructs a literary snapshot of our era, nuanced by his unique worldview.

Lucid, witty, and deliberately naive, the author (under the pseudonym Dany Ipkiss) adopts multiple voices and perspectives. His stories, camouflaged in sharp observations of everyday life, function as borrowed skins: invitations for the reader to temporarily inhabit other perspectives. Juxtaposing the cultural clash of Playa del Carmen with travelers from around the world in stories that blend dialogues with musical cadence, allegories to dance, and irreverent curiosity.

The result is a work that captures the brilliance of authentic and surreal stories, such as that of the girl who interprets the sound of the sea to communicate to the author a message of wisdom and resilience in the face of life's obstacles and failures.

This book is not just a read: it is a vortex of emotions that oscillates between laughter, humor, childlike wonder, fleeting infatuation, and personal growth. Its purpose is clear: to pull you out of digital hypnosis and give you a push to wake up... even if it hurts.
