In questo racconto, chi desidera andare a vivere su Marte come colono può compiere una specie di "viaggio della speranza" di sola andata, ma su delle carrette spaziali, navicelle monoposto, non proprio sicure. L'immigrazione spaziale è l'ultima frontiera?

Le storie di Lavie Tidhar si possono leggere sia come racconti di fantascienza sia come estratti – emozionanti ed evocativi – della vita di personaggi ai margini di una società in espansione verso lo spazio. Storie di persone che, con poco o nulla da perdere, s'imbarcano su “carrette spaziali” per un viaggio dall'esito incerto. E poi c'è chi resta, chi spera di partire un giorno dal “Terminale Terra” e chi farebbe qualunque cosa – il killer, la webstar o il clonatore – pur di realizzare il sogno di riuscire ad andarsene per sempre.

Una leyenda del futuro, de Agustín de Rojas, es un admirable estudio sobre la sofocación social que se lleva a cabo en una misión fallida a Titán, una de las lunas de Saturno. El viaje de regreso a tierra fuerza a los tripulantes a confrontar sus miedos más profundos mientras coexisten unos con otros en pleno estado de desesperación. Esta novela extraordinaria, que recuerda 2001: Odisea del espacio de Arthur C. Clarke, es un roman à clef de ciencia ficción sobre las presiones intensas - económicas, ideológicas, psicológicas - de la Cuba comunista.
