Welcome to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the not too distant future. Water is
scarce, garbage clogs the city, movement is restricted, and the
System--sinister, omnipotent, secret--rules its subjects' every moment
and thought. Here, middle-aged Souza lives a meaningless life in a world
where hope is a lie and all memory of the past is forbidden. A classic
novel of dystopia, looking back to Orwell's 1984 and forward to Terry
Gilliam's Brazil, And Still the Earth stands with Loyola Brandao's Zero
as one of the author's greatest, and darkest, achievements.
