Description
Caracas, 1984. A Minister burns his own life’s work in an iron fireplace — but saves one document: the technical specification for a Grade A human material. Four decades later, Fabián Cisneros — archivist, dyslexic, condemned by his own gift to see patterns where everyone else sees paper — finds that same document buried among the 1936 Congressional records.
What starts as a routine discovery becomes the reconstruction of a century: from an 1904 letter by the Carnegie Institution to the algorithms that now decide who stays and who leaves. Fabián isn’t investigating a theory. He’s reading his own invoice.
*The Protocol, Condemned to Exile* is a work of dystopian fiction and political thriller about the memory no one wants to keep, the institutions that manufacture what we later call identity, and the question every Venezuelan migrant has asked at some point: why, wherever we land, do we shine?
J. G. Varela — lawyer, developer, and editor — builds a dystopia that uses real names and institutions as a mirror, not an accusation. The result is a warning disguised as fiction, and a fiction that feels closer to home than any reader would like to admit.
Read at your own risk.
