Publisher Description

Hubert Vernon Rudolph Clayton Irving Wilson Alva Anton Jeff Harley Timothy Curtis Cleveland Cecil Ollie Edmund Eli Wiley Marvin Ellis Espinoza (conocido por sus amigos como Hubert, Etc) era demasiado viejo para estar en esa fiesta comunista. Pero después de ver el desmoronamiento de la sociedad moderna, no le queda otro sitio donde estar, excepto entre la escoria de jóvenes descontentos que se pasan la noche de fiesta y desprecian a las ovejas que ven por la mañana. Después de conocer a Natalie, una heredera muy rica que intenta escapar de las garras de su represivo padre, los dos deciden renunciar por completo a la sociedad formal y marcharse. Después de todo, ahora que cualquiera puede diseñar e imprimir las necesidades básicas de la vida -alimentación, ropa, refugio- desde un ordenador, parece que hay pocas razones para trabajar dentro del sistema. Sigue siendo un mundo peligroso, las tierras vacías destrozadas por el cambio climático, las ciudades muertas ahuecadas por la huida industrial, las sombras que esconden a los depredadores, tanto animales como humanos. Sin embargo, cuando los pioneros fugitivos prosperan, más gente se une a ellos. Entonces, los caminantes descubren lo único que los ultrarricos nunca han podido comprar: cómo vencer a la muerte. Ahora es la guerra, una guerra que pondrá el mundo patas arriba. Fascinante, conmovedor y con un humor negro, Walkaway es un thriller de ciencia ficción multigeneracional sobre los desgarradores cambios de los próximos cien años... y las personas muy humanas que vivirán sus consecuencias.
