Description
A dystopian future has arrived, and it's a bleak one. A failing Earth is at the mercy of powerful alien colonizers who remake the planet as a tourist destination. Humans are left to eke out a living in a desperate struggle for survival. Dispossessed people seek better lives via limited routes - working for the colonial police, black marketeers, or artists; prostituting themselves to exploitative extraterrestrial visitors, or facing the cold void of space in rickety illegal ships. This inventive book marks the English-language debut of an astonishingly brave and imaginative Latin American voice. Yoss critiques life under a particular regime by drawing parallels with a possible future Earth, where economic and environmental problems have been complicated by the struggle for power. A raucous tale of survival and resistance has emerged from this modern-day dystopia, offering a thought-provoking commentary on the human condition.
