ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA dystopian science fiction novel that portrays with brutal lucidity the social and spiritual collapse of a city wounded from within. "A mutant thriller, gory, dense, pop dark B-movie on loop, written with the rage of someone who has lived through their own dystopia." - Alberto Fuguet In a dystopian Lima ruled by a progressive regime, ruin seems to be the only possible future. The residents of the Villa Diodati building, the epicenter from which all the stories in this novel emerge, are torn between the escalating violence in the city and the abyss of their own lives. Like a mosaic of tragedies, each window of the Diodati offers a glimpse into a mournful and shattered reality, hurtling unchecked toward devastation. A family petrified by the ravages of a rare disease, a trans woman who uses her psychic powers to conjure a supernatural force, a child who becomes a criminal to spark a revolution. Who survives when misery is the norm? Through eight stories that intertwine in an enigmatic way, Dany Salvatierra manages to compose an unconventional novel, where science fiction and futurism are not mere explorations of possible worlds, but the harsh realization of a disturbing truth: these creatures writhing in misery are us.
