Imagina un mundo futuro donde el estar conectado y generar eventos automáticamente al segundo de haberlos vivido fuera posible. Imagina que eso sucede gracias al Sérum Vitae: miles de quantum-transmisores (Qts) que, una vez en sangre, se adhieren a cualquier celula o tejido, siendo imposible su destruccion. Imagina que esos Qts te son inyectados nada mas nacer y toda tu vida queda expuesta en la Red: cada encuentro, cada acto, cada movimiento. La advertencia es clara: no expreses tus ideologias politicas, guardate tus pensamientos, se docil, pues el Globo esta gobernado por La Cima, aristocratas inhibidos que disfrutan de libertad total para hacer y deshacer, para jugar con la plebe, matandola de hambre y favoreciendo a la gente con cuna. Imagina que se acaban los recursos energeticos y que el hombre construye siete plataformas para captar la energia solar y transformarla en watts, la moneda de cambio que se necesita para cualquier transaccion. Imagina que esos Elevados se ciernen sobre la tierra como pequeños planetas provocando lo que bautizan como oscuridad artificial, un manto negro que acaba matando cualquier vestigio de vida y deja en su lugar miseria, polvo y piedras. Imagina que no puedes mas, que te desconectas, y que mueres para poder vivir en libertad convirtiendote en un Traditional y, asi, poder luchar contra el sistema. Imagina que un sector de esos muertos se revela y forma un ejercito de Cazadores que tiene, como unico fin, conseguir el poder de La Cima. Imagina la mayor sublevacion que el mundo haya vivido jamas.

Este livro é ambientado no estado de Minas Gerais. Estamos outra vez diante do Realismo Fantástico que se embute em quase todos os romances de Henriques. Uma pitada de Existencialismo e essa deformaço perene de tudo que se pode pensar como existencia humana. Isso nos leva a crer que o Expressionismo que se acalanta desta obra suprema atinge seu cume diante de todas as narrativas propostas. Damio Calisto e o anti-heroi personificado pelo nada. Nele as coisas rompem com degredo e com arrastada dificuldade. Por vezes nem chega a ser anti-heroi porque no se presta a tais papeis. E o primeiro romance que Humberto Henriques textualiza dentro de sua possivel terra natal, Brejo Bonito, embora a trama seja completamente ficticia. Aqui nada destoa dessa ambientaço maiuscula. O romance trata da vida de Damio Calisto, um cidado comum em vida de terras do interior. No ha maquiagem alguma sobre os acontecimentos e as criaturas que percorrem a trama. Henriques vai as entranhas dessa terra magica que se chama Minas Gerais e demonstra a faceta originalissima de Damio Calisto. O semblante da personagem e aquele mesmo dos homens comuns a terra de origem, o Brejo Bonito, municipio de Cruzeiro da Fortaleza. A introspecço e o lugar-comum a esse livro, embora muitas vezes seja o humor que prevalece no original do texto. Introspectivo, o livro demonstra a sua origem, alavanca a trama original, baseada nos amores, da forma como sempre foram eles sujeitos ao estado passional da alma humana.
