Títulos em Distopia

Il mondo è cambiato. Qualcosa ha travolto la razza umana in modo subdolo, creando l’ennesima spaccatura tra gli svegli e i meno intelligenti. Ovunque ruderi di case cadono silenti, alberi morti pronti a rivivere, resti di vetture e moto gettati per terra, di traverso, cappottati, ambulanze, macchine della polizia, qualche mezzo militare. Defunti come ogni cosa lì. Saccheggiati da tempo da disperati che poi ne hanno fatto l’uso più consono. Per lo più si sono eliminati tra di loro. “Quando i morti camminano, signori, bisogna smettere di uccidere… o si perde la guerra.”

Transgender, Cisgender, boy, girl, all words of a distant and archaic past. Enter a world where gender is suppressed before birth, only to be revealed on one's Choosing Day.

The thesis of this story is that “because of the development of scientific knowledge, separate sovereign states and separate sovereign empires are no longer possible in the world. To attempt to keep on with the old system is to heap disaster upon disaster for [hu]mankind and perhaps to destroy our race altogether. The remaining interest of this book now is the sustained validity of this thesis and the discussion of the possible ending of war on the earth.”
