Description

«El problema de la disponibilidad de agua en la cuenca del valle de México es una verdadera bomba de tiempo para la ciudad más poblada del planeta.»
 
¿Podemos imaginar que una sequía pudiera hacer estallar en pedazos el pacto federal mexicano porque un estado, por supervivencia, se negara a dar agua al vecino, o a la mismísima capital de la República? Francisco Martín Moreno da la voz de alarma respecto a la posibilidad de una nueva sequía, como las que han azotado al valle de México desde la época prehispánica. Con su prosa vigorosa y su incansable imaginación, nos revela que la sequía fue el gran detonador de la guerra de Independencia, como también lo fue de la Revolución de 1910. Si se aceptara que ésta determinó nuestro pasado, tomaríamos las medidas para evitar daños posteriores y nos adelantaríamos al futuro para impedir que la catástrofe se apodere de nuevo del destino de la nación.
 
Esta novela, repleta de intrigas políticas, erotismo y anticipación ecológica, nos enseña lo que puede ser el México del mañana si no se da un oportuno y firme golpe de timón.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
 
Martín Moreno’s forceful prose and endless imagination raises a red flag to the possibility of a looming drought, like those that have gripped the Valley of Mexico since pre-Columbian times and served as the detonator to the War of Independence and the 1910 Revolution. Can we take the necessary measures to avoid a future catastrophe? 1810, 1910… 2010? Brimming with political intrigue and an awakening environmental awareness, the novel offers a crystal ball for the possible future of Mexico.
