Los inmortales

Years ago, on the shores of Lake Baikal, in Siberia, a woman read the hand of the Italian journalist and photographer Alberto Giuliani. A couple of years later, a Brahmin from the holy city of Vrindavan in India saw her future. They both agreed that he had a joyous life ahead of him, and that he would suffer an early and violent death. Years later, the proximity of that prophecy prompts Giuliani to start a journey in search of the future of humanity and, incidentally, his own. During this journey he will meet a group of NASA astronauts who are training to live on Mars and those in charge of freezing people in the hope of waking up in a new world. He will live for a time alongside the guardians of the climate at the North Pole, meet with the fathers of Japanese robotics, speak with scientists who are building an artificial sun more powerful than natural, and meet politicians who plan to lock themselves in a bunker to save The Biodiversity. He will meet people prepared for the apocalypse, eat transgenic fish and vegetables that do not exist in nature, and meet researchers who clone, cut and sew DNA to the limits of eugenics. All to find answers to his questions about the future. Because all of them, like him, are driven by the same desire to survive death.
