Resumen

       It is about a young woman, Caliban, a mythical figure in 2018, dealing with her adoptive father Prospero. In the story we discover that she discovers that Prospero killed her mother Sycorax. The ecological forces that know this and have protected Sycorax's mythical spirit are the trees of Prospero's Island. The trees draw Caliban over to the forbidden side of the Isle and they teach Caliban aobut her mother. From both Prospero's science of manifestation and Sycorax's magic, preserved in the trees, Caliban conjures a storm to evict Prospero and Mirand. They go off to work for Monsanto-Bayer, and Caliban protects the Island.

 

Resumen

      El texto trata de una mujer joven, Caliban, una figura mítica en 2018, quien ha de lidiar con su padre adoptivo, Prospero. En la historia descubrimos que ella se da cuenta de que Prospero mató a su madre Sycorax. Las fuerzas ecológicas que saben esto y que han protegido el espíritu mítico de Sycorax son los árboles de la isla de Prospero. Los árboles llevan a Caliban a la zona prohibida de la isla y le hablan de su madre. Desde la ciencia de la manifestación de Prospeto, la magia de Sycorax, conservada en los árboles, Caliban conjura una tormenta para echar a Prospero y Mirand. Ellos se marchan a trabajar para Monsanto-Bayer, mientras Caliban protege la isla.
