  A science fiction story in the vein of 1984 about the abuses of power and the influence of information.

  After a deadly epidemic, the world was formed into independent, cloistered and ultra-secure cities.
  Miguel belongs to the second generation of survivors, raised in orphanages controlled by the army. His meeting with Gloria will shake up the banality of his daily life. He refuses to succumb to the resignation and boredom caused by the imperatives of confinement…

  A great story about anticipation, it addresses questions linked to power and information in the light of contemporary issues.
