«La cabalgata de los mendigos» is the science fiction novel by Nancy Kress, published by Bolsillo Byblos in paperback (528 pages, in Spanish).
In the future, energy and genetics divide society: the poor 'vividors' depend on the rich 'auxiliars' in exchange for their votes. The Insomnes and Superinsomnes create the Syringes of Change, which give immunity against diseases but fuel inequalities. When the supply fails, a mother fights to bring the vividors to power.
Third installment of the Insomnes series. Original title: Beggars Ride (1996). Translated from English by Elsa Mateo.
For readers of science fiction and dystopias interested in social inequality and biotechnology.
