In the year 1349, the Black Death has devastated Europe, opening a power vacuum that China and Islam seek to fill. In this alternative world, India finds an ally in the political organizations of the American natives. Through the reincarnations of B. and K., the reader will experience seven centuries of an alternative history, exploring a new political, social, and religious order where Europe and Christianity are not central. Kim Stanley Robinson presents us with a fascinating uchronia that invites reflection on the course of history and the possibilities of a different world.
