ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A financial crisis destabilizes world powers. A virus infects the population. It is not 2020--this is Vonnegut being the most progressive writer of his generation.

While the world is mired in an unprecedented financial crisis, a select group of people that were enjoying a cruise become cast aways, stranded in Santa Rosal a island. This apparent misfortune will save them, however, of the lethal virus that causes infertility in all corners of the earth, except for that small island where they live. They have a million years to repopulate Earth and make it better, an insane, yet inexcusable, evolutionary challenge.

In this one-of-a-kind novel, filled with humor, a homage to Darwin himself, that takes to an extreme the statutes of science fiction, the great satirical literature master anticipated, almost prophetically, the socio-economic collapse and the pandemic horror that would come next. In this novel, he observed the world up close and identified everything that is terribly wrong and painful, but also what is worth saving.
