The novel (2018) by Spanish writer and journalist Juan Soto Ivars is a chilling dystopia that explores the logical extremes of modern socio-economic trends. Set in a fragmented, pre-apocalyptic Spain, the story follows three women—Margarita, Julia, and Candela—as they navigate a world where the state has collapsed and "The Entity," a conglomerate of multinational corporations, dictates every aspect of human life. The Architecture of a Corporate Dystopia
The narrative is anchored by three women who represent different intersections of this broken society:
: Much like Soto Ivars’ non-fiction work on "digital lynching" (e.g., Arden las redes ), this novel critiques how information is manipulated and how social control is maintained through behavioral modulation.
: A young woman who flees the precariousness of her rural hometown only to find herself a victim of the capital's brutal indifference.
