The disasters humans have caused on Earth have gone beyond all measure, and the planet has grown too small for the greed of markets and powers. In the twenty-third century, the strong and the conquerors emigrate to the Moon and Mars, leaving behind the old humanity, which calmly awaits its extinction. But two hundred years later, Mars proves too hostile to life. The new humans return from Mars and brutally seize power on an Earth that has become peaceful and sedated. A vision of the distant future that is about emigration and homecoming, and about a species brought down by its own hubris, with books as the last witnesses.
