Animal Spiral

“In the tradition of the civilizational sagas of Isaac Asimov, and Kim Stanley Robinson, Rosa’s novel contemplates a future in which the collective replaces the individual as the locus of our most intimate desires and fears.” —Jeff Lawrence , author of THE ANXIETIES OF EXPERIENCE: THE LITERATURES OF THE AMERICAS FROM WHITMAN TO BOLAÑO

“One of the most brilliant young writers of our time.” —Marta Aponte Alsina , author of LA MUERTE FELIZ DE WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

“A master work capable of redeeming a broken world.” —Carlos Fonseca , author of AUSTRAL

“Animal Spiral takes readers on a ride from the roots of human consciousness to modernity and beyond (…). More than science fiction, Animal Spiral is speculative anarchism with shades of Luisa Capetillo, William Burroughs and Octavia Butler.” —”Dr. Michael Cucher, University of Puerto Rico”
