Overview
El autor de El problema de los tres cuerpos regresa a la ciencia ficción con una advertencia ecológica en forma de fábula: la historia de unos pobres dinosaurios que no escucharon los avisos de las hormigas sobre un inminente desastre ambiental.
La inteligencia es un destello fugaz en la larga noche de la historia cósmica. Que pueblen la tierra no una sino dos especies inteligentes al mismo tiempo pone en cuestión cualquier cálculo de probabilidades. El hecho de que esas dos especies, tan distintas como complementarias, forjen una alianza que a su vez enciende una civilización desafía toda lógica.
Los inicios de la alianza entre las hormigas y los dinosaurios fueron humildes, pero de ella surgieron la escritura, las matemáticas, los ordenadores e incluso los viajes espaciales. Una verdadera era de las maravillas que, sin embargo, hará pagar un alto precio a la biosfera de la Tierra y a quienes dependen de ella.
Pese a todo, los dinosaurios se negarán a escuchar la advertencia de las hormigas sobre el inminente colapso ecológico, y al hacerlo dejarán a la Federación Fórmica frente a un único dilema: destruir a los dinosaurios, aniquilar una civilización... ¿o morir junto a ellos?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In a sunlit clearing in central Gondwana, on an otherwise ordinary day in the late Cretaceous, the seeds of Earth's first and greatest civilization were sown in the grisly aftermath of a Tyrannosaurus' lunch.
Throughout the universe, intelligence is a rare and fragile commodity – a fleeting glimmer in the long night of cosmic history. That Earth should harbour not just one but two intelligent species at the same time, defies the odds. That these species, so unalike – and yet so complementary – should forge an alliance that kindled a civilization defies logic. But time is endless and everything comes to pass eventually...
The alliance between ants and dinosaurs, was of course, based on dentistry. Yet from such humble beginnings came writing, mathematics, computers, fusion, antimatter and even space travel – a veritable Age of Wonder! But such magnificent industry comes at a price – a price paid first by Earth's biosphere, and then by all those dependent on it.
And yet the Dinosaurs refused to heed the Ants' warning of impending ecological collapse, leaving the Ant Federation facing a single dilemma: destroy the dinosaurs, destroy a civilization... or perish alongside them?
