Description
2200s. The planets of the solar system are under the supervision of the Terra Commission, but behind the glittering scenery of industrial-economic development and technical innovations, political corruption, sects and the rule of poverty flourish. Three superior beings wander into this human world believed to be safely closed due to an accident, and although their existence is never revealed to humanity, madness is unleashed and ancient myths about human ambition, our dreams and the consequences of our actions come to life. An unknown gate appears at the edge of the solar system, luring humanity with the promise of a possible new world. The Terra Committee announces a competition, and hundreds of adventurous astronauts line up at the start to be among the first to reach the gateway and secure their place on the distant planet, which is suspected to have much more in store for them than a simple place to live. In the dubious competition, unscrupulous criminals, religious fanatics, precogs and gray little men fight for their dreams and their survival, to use the opportunity of the League of Madmen to achieve their radically different goals at the cost of the lives of the others in a struggle that may not even have a winner. In the League of Desires, the most popular classics and traditions of science fiction return: Stanislaw Lem's eternal questions, William Gibson's cyberpunk settings or Philip K. Dick's brilliant storytelling on the border between morality and madness.
