«El mundo sumergido» is the science fiction novel by J. G. Ballard, published by Booket in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In a dystopian future, increased solar heat has covered the Earth with swamps, lagoons and subtropical jungles, and flora and fauna regress to the Triassic era. The few survivors take refuge in the upper floors of submerged skyscrapers, where Kerans tries to survive, and the struggle is also waged within each person.
El mundo sumergido was originally published in 1962 as The Drowned World; this Booket edition, released in 2002, is number 1 in the Ciencia Ficción collection.
Reading for those seeking classic science fiction with psychological depth, and for those interested in climate dystopias and post-apocalyptic worlds.
James Graham Ballard was an English novelist and short-story writer, satirist and essayist known for psychologically provocative works of fiction that explore the relations between human psychology, technology, sex and mass media. Ballard first became associated with New Wave science fiction for post-apocalyptic novels such as The Drowned World (1962). He later courted controversy with the short-story collection The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), which includes the 1968 story "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan", and later the novel Crash (1973), a story about car-crash fetishists.
