Dengue Boy

Set in the year 2197, this gaucho-punk sci-fi novel immerses listeners in Victorica, a transformed province of La Pampa, Argentina, where climate collapse has turned the landscape into a Caribbean-like environment. The story follows the Dengue Child, a mutant born from corporate experiments in an ultra-capitalistic society that has obliterated basic natural experiences. As telepathic pebbles emerge from the earth, embodying ancient wisdom, the elite indulge in artificial ice-skating while grappling with the consequences of their greed, making for a frenetic, thought-provoking narrative. Michel Nieva's work showcases a vibrant blend of humor and intelligence, rooted in Latin American storytelling and sci-fi traditions.
