The analogy of structure of two autobiographical novels in what theme, main character and symbolical meaning is concerned. Holden and Matia are the protagonists of a process of social alienation but only one of them in the end experiences disalienation.

Leviathan - Il risveglio
L’umanità ha colonizzato l’intero sistema solare, spingendosi fino all’orbita di Nettuno grazie alla scoperta di un avveniristico motore a fusione. Jim Holden presta servizio sulla Canterbury, un cargo che trasporta ghiaccio attraverso gli infiniti spazi tra gli anelli di Saturno e la Fascia, l’arcipelago di asteroidi che si estende tra Marte e Giove. Incaricato di ispezionare il relitto di una nave spaziale, la Scopuli, sopravvivrà alla distruzione della Canterbury in seguito a un proditorio attacco nemico. Un fatto inaudito che porta la Terra, Marte e la Fascia sull’orlo della catastrofe planetaria. Nel frattempo, sull’asteroide Ceres, il detective Miller è impegnato nelle ricerche di Julie Mao, una giovane ribelle che ha rinnegato la sua famiglia sulla Terra e si è rifugiata nella Fascia. La ragazza sembra scomparsa nel nulla, ma le sue tracce portano dritto al relitto della Scopuli e a una vicenda di orribili esperimenti che qualcuno sta tentando di insabbiare, anche a costo di scatenare una guerra senza precedenti. Il debutto di una serie che ha rivoluzionato il concetto di Science Fiction. Benvenuti nel futuro!
