Description

In this dystopia, humanity has erected its greatest metropolises inside floating spheres in space. This decision was made in response to the rapid degradation of the Earth, which has become inhospitable due to pollution and environmental deterioration. Spherical cities provide refuge from the increasingly dangerous living conditions on the planet's surface. However, this solution has created a divide between those who can afford to live in these floating cities and those who are left behind on contaminated Earth. Inside these spheres, life seems idyllic, with artificial ecosystems and careful environmental control. However, this apparent utopia hides dark aspects of society. Inequalities are exacerbated, with a privileged class controlling resources and maintaining power by restricting access to life in the spheres to wealthier citizens. The less fortunate are condemned to subsist in the toxic ruins of the Earth, facing insurmountable environmental and health challenges. This story explores the themes of the environmental impact of human activity, social division, injustice and finding solutions to the consequences of our actions. It sheds light on how technology, although it may offer temporary loopholes, cannot solve fundamental problems related to sustainability and equity.
