Humanity lives under the surveillance of Artificial Intelligence. In this world, people are grouped into creative guilds, and their sole mission is to produce artistic offerings—music, designs, and other expressions—for their technological rulers. The story follows Carmen, a young musician, and Manuel, an illustrator who discovers a secret library full of ancient books in a forbidden city. These texts reveal a human past without machines, awakening questions in Carmen and Manuel about freedom, creativity, and the true nature of identity.

Through its protagonists, the book explores the tension between the security guaranteed by technology and humanity’s creative spark.
