Overview
Del otro lado de las nubes, la pequeña ciudad de Davos, rodeada de montañas nevadas, amanecía blanca y billonaria aquel miércoles de enero. Ahí empezaban a llegar el 1% de los primates habladores más ricos y poderosos de la tribu humana. Los así llamados líderes globales.
En un mundo donde las diferencias entre ricos y pobres son cada vez más abismales y los cambios tecnológicos y ecológicos tienen efectos expansivos, encontrar soluciones a la crisis humanitaria se convierte en algo urgente. Y quizás el lugar indicado para hacerlo sea la Cumbre de Líderes Globales que se realiza en Davos, Suiza. Con el lema «La desigualdad es nuestro desafío», durante tres días y bajo la batuta de Christine Jambes, presidenta del Banco Mundial, se reunirá el 1% de los hombres y mujeres que acumulan las mayores fortunas del planeta. Entre ellos está el profesor Wermer, uno de los matemáticos más sobresalientes, Premio Nobel y autor de un teorema que lleva su nombre. Pero Wermer tiene un firme y oscuro propósito: unirse a las protestas de los inconformes con el modelo neoliberal y acabar de una vez por todas con ese pequeño porcentaje que enferma a la sociedad.
Con el genio y la calidad narrativa a la que nos tiene acostumbrados, Sabina Berman nos presenta aquí una novela trepidante, divertida, donde nada está totalmente dicho y donde solo existe una oportunidad para que un plan perfecto y matemáticamente calculado tenga éxito o nos condene a todos a una nueva crisis.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
On the other side of the clouds, the small city of Davos, surrounded by snowy mountains, dawned white and billionaire that Wednesday in January. There, 1 percent of the wealthiest and most powerful talking primates of the human tribe had started arriving. The so-called global leaders.
In a world where the difference between rich and poor is increasingly abysmal and technological and ecological changes have expansive effects, finding solutions to a humanitarian crisis becomes urgent. And perhaps, the right place to do so is the World Leaders Summit that takes place in Davos, Switzerland. With the motto “Inequality is our challenge,” for three days and under the baton of Christine James, President of the World Bank, 1 percent of the men and women who have accrued the greatest fortunes on the planet will gather. Among them is professor Wermer, one of the most outstanding mathematicians, Nobel Prize winner, and author of a theorem that bears his name. But Wermer has a firm and dark purpose: to join the protesters dissatisfied with the neoliberal model and end once and for all this small percentage that ails society.
With the kind of genius and narrative quality we have come to expect, Sabina Berman presents an entertaining and heart-pounding novel where nothing is certain and where there is only one chance for a perfect and mathematically calculated plan to succeed or condemn us all to a new crisis.
