A world where Socialist insects fear the police. The only trace of humans is a mysterious ruin in the forest. In the ruin a janitor beetle tells mind-boggling tales of when architecture, anatomy and hierarchical corporations became one. Written over a century ago by a woman at the top of the Andes mountains in the heart of South America, this timeless tale, "Vertigo" by Adela Zamudio (1854-1928), Bolivia, forms part of the global origins of science fiction. Translated from the Spanish for the first time by Lynette Yetter, MALS, 2023 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation finalist. Introduction by science fiction scholar William Gillard, PhD. Vertigo also includes "El vértigo" in its original Spanish.
