La violencia es en nuestro mundo actual como una niebla que empaña la vista y torna en gris todo lo que nos rodea. Invade nuestro entorno poco a poco, se filtra silenciosa en todos los rincones. Nadie sabe, o no quiere saber, de dónde viene, dónde se originó. Nos pesa enfrentar que su raíz está dentro del sujeto, del Yo abandonado a su suerte ante un mundo hostil, difícil de remontar, y sólo cuando estalla en grandes proporciones parece preocuparnos de verdad.

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Full of Arriaga's trademark humor and irony present in his films and novels, The Guillotine Squad takes us back to one of the most exciting times in Mexican history.

Soon Feliciano finds himself immersed in the logic of this simultaneously bizarre, heroic, and cruel world of Villa's troops.
