Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Una lluvia ácida cae sobre Makesicko City, la urbe más poblada y más contaminada. Los mecanismos de control polÃtico son implacables y la manipulación mantiene a las masas enajenadas en festejos y concursos, uno de ellos, el premio a la pareja cuyo hijo nazca en el primer minuto del 12 de octubre. En el vientre de su madre, donde cavila y desde donde percibe los fragores del mundo, Cristóbal se pregunta: ¿vale la pena nacer?. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ÂI cling desperately to my motherâs womb.â Acid rain bathes Makesicko City, the worldâs most populated and polluted city. The governmentâs control and manipulation mechanisms are ruthless. Festivities and contests keep the masses under their spell. To win one of these contests a couple must give birth to their child on October 12, within the first minute of the day. Sensing the worldâs clamor from his motherâs womb, Cristobal is left to ponder Âis being born really worth it?
