«La sequía» is the dystopian science fiction novel by J. G. Ballard, published by Minotauro in paperback, in Spanish.
The novel is set in a world ravaged by a global drought that pushes society to collapse. In that arid and hostile landscape, the characters struggle to survive while the lack of water transforms human relationships and the environment. A dystopia that invites reflection on the planet's resources and the fragility of civilization.
It is part of J. G. Ballard's cycle of apocalyptic novels, alongside The Drowned World and Crash. The novel's original title is The Burning World (1964).
For readers of dystopian science fiction and fiction about environmental impact on society.
James Graham Ballard was an English novelist and short-story writer, satirist and essayist known for psychologically provocative works of fiction that explore the relations between human psychology, technology, sex and mass media. Ballard first became associated with New Wave science fiction for post-apocalyptic novels such as The Drowned World (1962). He later courted controversy with the short-story collection The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), which includes the 1968 story "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan", and later the novel Crash (1973), a story about car-crash fetishists.
