Luis María Anson, of the Real Academia Española, has referred to the book in the following way: “It is one of the most interesting and entertaining books I have read in the past 20 years. With rigorous writing, José Antonio Ruiz sheds light on the paths of science and delves into the immediate future. ‘El último sapiens’ is a breathtaking essay that has put the author on the cutting-edge of history, science and literature in the 21st Century.”
