TECHNOLOGY EVOLVES, PEOPLE DON'T. Galactic Colonies imagines a world where the human race is starting to colonize space, with a realistic vision, neither utopian nor dystopian. In this scenario, the inhabitants of Earth are extremely excited about their first colonies in space, although this enthusiasm is not at all shared by those who will actually live in worlds totally hostile to human life. Great businessmen and merchants, who would seek to multiply their fortunes by undertaking the exploitation of resources from these other worlds, would use part of their astronomical profits to build mansions where technology would allow them to live with all the comfort and luxury they would have. on Earth itself. But, as unbelievable as this may seem, the super rich are (always have been and will forever be) an insignificant minority of the human population, so most colonists would find themselves exposed to a series of hardships and deprivations. . Situation even worse for a countless contingent of exiles, banished from Earth and thrown into colonies on Mars or Jupiter for belonging to the wrong side of the last Great War (ie the side that was defeated). Against this background, we follow the protagonist of the story, a young duchess of a new aristocracy, recreated by a unified government of the whole Earth. She volunteers in a noble mission to increase fundraising to finance research at a scientific institute that "seeks to develop improvements in space exploration and colonization techniques". However, things don't go as planned and she ends up accompanying a group of exiles on an escape through space; getting involved in the greedy wiles of powerful men, whose plans go infinitely beyond what they let on...

What happened? Well, in short, the world ended... And now comes the worst part: we survived... But men are no longer the lords of this land, even though civilization seems to survive in isolated areas, in most of the world men have to fight for survival against the new dominant race, which were once human, but now, infected. , ceased to be, in addition to having to face each other. Perhaps the infected could be defeated if all humans united against them, but it seems to be characteristic of our species that when we most need to unite, we fragment into groups and end up separating ourselves more and more, giving rise to the worst follies of human nature. .. We have become renegades from a land that was once ours... Maybe that's why they are winning this war... Maybe that's why we don't deserve to be the "dominant species" again... But there is always hope, and the Sometimes she's all that's left...

Dois opostos, duas apostas e dez mil motivos para não se apaixonar. Para o mundo, Marcos tem tudo sob controle: o terno impecável, as vendas milionárias e o charme natural que parece encantar qualquer pessoa. Mas por trás do sorriso fácil, ele guarda o medo latente de amar e perder quem ama. Para o mundo, Malu é a amiga colorida e desorganizada que não sabe o que quer do futuro. Recém-liberta de um namoro apagado, ela só deseja manter a sua independência e distância do cara mais perigoso do seu círculo de amizades: o engraçadinho que ganha qualquer uma no papo antes mesmo de ela perceber. Um acordo de namoro falso parecia a solução perfeita para os problemas de ambos: ele afasta uma cliente inconveniente, ela tenta faturar uma aposta absurda de dez mil reais feita pelos amigos. A regra era simples: sobreviver a alguns encontros e provar que são completamente incompatíveis.

Todo mundo conhece a fábula da raposa que finge não querer as uvas por não conseguir alcançá-las. Mas e se, no fundo dessa história, nunca tivesse existido raposa nenhuma? Em Causo do Cão Chamado Raposa, uma avó revela a origem esquecida do conto: um cachorro vira-lata, batizado Raposa por causa do pelo ruivo, que numa seca terrível não desiste diante do cacho de uvas fora de alcance. Ele espera, arma um plano com uma pedra e o vento, e consegue. A confusão nasce de um vizinho fofoqueiro que espalha a história errada numa roda de bebida, e o nome próprio vira espécie, geração após geração, até virar a fábula que todo mundo aprende na escola. Uma releitura sobre como as histórias se deformam ao passar de boca em boca e sobre como a versão que vira lição de moral nem sempre é a mais parecida com o que realmente aconteceu.
