He creates cybernetic heroes by exploring the human mind in connection with a complex computerized matrix, whose central memory comes from the gods. And he includes, in the dilettante adventure of enthusiastic students, an international plot, involving nations in a crisis of identity, with the collapse of the East. The art of the fiction writer resides in the cunning involvement of the reader in the discussion of eternal themes of literature, such as life, death, the power of art, the autonomy of the human being in the face of the action of the gods, whose survival, in turn, will depend on human consciousness. All this without studying the human\/machine relationship. Interestingly, the novelist revolves the entire plot around a strategic location: Brasília, with its rational power and magical surroundings.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e- FABIO LUCAS\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159425695996,"sku":"9788501041197","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/058ba5b750fe7a823bda2372a838a98d_d40f233b-1b79-47fa-b23a-2804856b24f2.jpg?v=1778319432"},{"product_id":"mediterraneos-invisiveis-os-muros-que-excluem-pobres-e-aprisionam-ricos","title":"Invisible Mediterraneans: The Walls That Exclude the Poor and Imprison the Rich","description":"One of the saddest scenes arising from the contemporary tragedy of war refugees was the death of Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi, whose images spread around the world in September 2015. In a failed attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea with his family, the boy, just 3 years old, became a symbol of the thousands of people seeking survival away from war, religious persecution, and the poverty that often lies along the way. Using the allegory of the Mediterranean interrupting life's journeys, Cristovam Buarque analyzes how the immense geographical barrier that impedes social migration worldwide is formed. The author suggests that, to find an alternative to the world's division between destitute poverty and indistributable wealth, global society must be educated in tolerance and solidarity.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175438434556,"sku":"9788577533541","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/04de5c154c3c70e8663d3ad7c92ca31d_087d735a-aadc-4620-b9b4-ba0a2a14527c.jpg?v=1778321215"},{"product_id":"o-colapso-da-modernidade-brasileira-e-uma-proposta-alternativa","title":"The collapse of Brazilian modernity and an alternative proposal","description":"This book presents a comprehensive portrait of a modernity that has collapsed and denounces archaic modernist proposals. Without falling into pessimism or denial, it proposes a modernization so radical as to renew the concept of modernity. A modernity that subordinates the economy to ethically defined social objectives, in tune with society's resources and desires. A text to be read and debated.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176883273980,"sku":"9788521903178","price":42.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/2a5d398f2c549b0c8a0cb97fbaab6d83_07543148-89e6-42db-bc14-724d1ece1d58.jpg?v=1776898909"},{"product_id":"a-revolucao-nas-prioridades","title":"A revolução nas prioridades","description":"Em A revolução das prioridades, Cristovam Buarque propõe novas leituras e, sobretudo, um novo lugar para olhar o Brasil e para formular saídas para nossos impasses maiores - o lugar daquela sociedade civil que vai conquistando maioridade política.
