É no contexto de alto respeito à natureza que o autor sugere a criação da Organização Mundial de Proteção ao Meio Ambiente, da moeda verde, a Green Bitcoin – uma ciber moeda –, destinada a representar doravante o zelo de cada país na proteção e conservação da natureza, constituindo-se em uma nova riqueza mundial, a qual pretende ser a centelha mágica nas relações entre os países. Também é delineado todo o conceito da Cidade Estação, uma cidade absolutamente sustentável, de custos baixíssimos, inclusiva, compacta e densa, criada inicialmente para abrigar idosos e edificada onde for preciso. Ao tempo em que se sugere, de igual modo, a criação da indústria dos veículos Magleve, movidos à energia limpa e a dos “deslocamentos virtuais”. Outro ponto abordado é o incremento das relações entre as nações, buscando-se a disseminação da ciência e do conhecimento, na busca pela inclusão e pelo progresso de cada qual, dentre outras sugestões quanto a posturas que podem ser assimiladas por todos. Tudo com o devido respeito ao meio ambiente e sem que seja preciso desmatar as florestas existentes no mundo inteiro, sobretudo a Floresta Amazônica.

Capitalist Sorcery neither sets out a new political programme nor offers a new theory. Rather, it aims to encourage all those who are resistant to resignation and inertia, whose stories of partial successes must be told, celebrated and shared.

LONGLISTED FOR THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FIRST BOOK AWARD The Sun on My Head is a collection of thirteen stories set in Rio's largest favela, gravitating around the lives of young boys and men who, in spite of having to deal with the anguish and difficulties inherent to their age, also struggle with the violence involved in growing up on the less favoured side of the 'Broken City'. They smoke weed, sell weed, and notice the smell of weed lingering on the clothes of passersby in the streets. A boy steals his security-guard father's gun to show it to his friends, another runs into trouble disposing of a body, and another relapses into an old graffiti habit, with tragic consequences . Drugs and poverty colour them, but these stories also depict the pain of growing up with attendant hopes and desires. Geovani Martins has produced a spellbinding debut about masculinity, corruption, guilt, poverty and resilience. Completely of our time and yet profoundly timeless, it's a book that animates and humanises the people of a city whose humanity is often obscured by its own reputation.
