La Hermandad de la Serpiente, volumen 2 : La Rebelión (La Hermandad de la Serpiente #2)
by Annie LavigneEl nuevo orden mundial se había rendido a los pies de la tecnología y se resumía a tres elementos: microchip, realidad virtual y mega ciudades. Tras el paso del planeta Nibiru cerca de la tierra, los cataclismos se sucedieron y la Hermandad de la Serpiente logró hacerse con el control del planeta y de sus habitantes. Los supervivientes del apocalipsis se vieron obligados a vivir en mega ciudades construidas con la tecnología de los Anunnakis, unos seres reptilianos de pura raza que vigilaban a la humanidad sin dejarse ver. Mientras los humanos vivían prisioneros de las mega ciudades, completamente absortos por la realidad virtual y manipulados gracias al microchip que tenían implantado en el cerebro, los Guardianes, una élite de seres con habilidades sobrehumanas, luchaban sin descanso para liberar a la humanidad de su desdicha. Estos decidieron centrar sus esperanzas en una puerta estelar por la cual los antiguos dioses egipcios podrían regresar a la Tierra… Este volumen describe de un modo un tanto fantasioso el mundo futurista hacia el que la humanidad se está precipitando: un mundo en el que los humanos acaban entregando su vida a la tecnología y aceptan lo inaceptable: la implantación de un microchip que permite controlar sus pensamientos sin que estos se den cuenta, el Proxis, un fármaco que permite controlar sus estados de ánimo, la realidad virtual con la que se desconectan de la vida real para vivir jugando en un mundo inventado, y las mega ciudades, donde la humanidad vive para permanecer a salvo de la epidemia mundial de Ébola. Los Guardianes tratarán de ayudar a esa humanidad manipulada y sedada para que pueda despertar y al fin salir de ese mundo diseñado por los Anunnakis mientras estos aprovechan para saquear los recursos del planeta. En su periplo, los Guardianes descubrirán que ellos también viven en la inopia… Tal vez en el mundo real también nos estén manipulando…
