Governments decided to eradicate animals to face the crisis, but the bigger problem lies in that humans need animal protein to satisfy their cravings. Thus, over time, individual attempts by some members of society to eat the weakest of them, the poor and marginalized, begin. Governments, this time, legislate the breeding of genetically modified "human heads" to fill the void left by the absence of animals and to provide the protein needs, and to revive the multi-million-dollar meat industry. Does any human truly still have a shred of humanity? Is there really such a thing as humanity when they burn their dead to avoid grave robbing and the consumption of their bodies? In this harsh dystopia, Augustina Bathiterrica presents us with a contemporary literary masterpiece about how humans eat each other literally and figuratively through a work that will shock the reader on every page.
