In a large American electric company, an executive faces continuous supply failures across a vast state. Scientists, journalists, terrorists, and government members cross paths in a multi-character plot that shows how the blackout unleashes a climate of social tension, raises the cost of living, and puts governments and institutions in check, turning energy dependence into a critical issue.
The work originally appeared as Overload in 1978; the Spanish translation is by María Clotilde Rezano de Martini. Edition of 21x13 cm.
Suitable for those who enjoy suspense with social criticism and multi-character plots with numerous figures.
