Borges meets Isabel Waidner and Mariana Enriquez in this boldly imaginative punk dystopia. The year is 2272. New York and Buenos Aires were submerged years ago and the Patagonian archipelagos are the only habitable lands on Earth. Here, Dengue Boy is a humanoid mosquito whose monstrous appearance repulses everyone, including his own mother. As the world spirals to its end, Dengue Boy searches for the meaning of his life and his true origins. Elsewhere, adults exploit the value of pandemics on the Stock Exchange and waste the last of Earth's resources, while their privileged children plug into virtual realities and stream violent video games. With joyful, savage flair, Nieva gives body horror and cyberpunk a Latin American twist to deliver an extraordinary portrait of a demented future.
