This novel features the reader as a protagonist. The narrator, a frustrated college professor who happens to be "our friend," addresses the reader constantly ("You, the one holding this book"). Set in the year 2025, the novel immerses the reader in such fictitious worlds as La Rmoras, a town in Baja California that appears in one of Urroz's previous works. The author presents comical anecdotes about Mexican history (Pancho Villa is almost murdered by Japanese cooks), current urban problems that continue in the future (poverty, corruption, and pollution), and the world of academia. Reincarnations, demigods, and Aztec and Greek divinities take center stage.
