Spiral

In Spiral, a captivating space opera by Agustín de Rojas, a team of ten explorers from the planet Aurora returns to a devastated Earth, now a radioactive wasteland populated by genetically modified humans. Through their investigation of the planet's destruction, the novel critiques the Cuban regime by contrasting an idealistic moral universe inspired by Che Guevara's socialism with the harsh realities of life under Fidel Castro. As the expedition grapples with the ethics of scientific exploration and their own emotional bonds, Rojas weaves a narrative that captures the struggles of community and survival amid competing economic powers reminiscent of the Cold War.
