A powerful novel about burnout, awakening, and the meaning of a life worth living.
When Arun Dev collapses under decades of corporate expectations, he begins a quiet rebellion that will change not just his life — but the way thousands of readers understand success, ambition, and humanity.
Set against the backdrop of India’s modern corporate culture, The Last Human at the Glass Tower explores:

• The invisible cost of high-performance jobs
• The silent suffering behind promotions and KPIs
• The tragic true-to-life case of a young employee who dies under pressure
• The collapse of a senior leader that shakes an entire floor
• The wisdom of a janitor who sees what managers ignore
• A man’s journey back to himself

Perfect for readers of Black Mirror, The Alchemist, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, this novel blends psychology, philosophy, corporate satire, and emotional depth.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, unseen, or trapped by work —
this book will speak to you.
