A la suite d'élections municipales qui font apparaître 83% de votes blancs sans aucune abstention, le gouvernement et les partis politiques paniquent et, convaincus qu'il s'agit d'une conspiration organisée, choisissent la répression. Les citoyens s'organisent et couvrent la ville de leurs intentions de vote. L'auteur dénonce les formes dévoyées des démocraties modernes.

Review of 'Ensaio sobre a Lucidez' on 'Goodreads'

I REALLY ADVISE READING "BLINDNESS" FIRST.
it is not mandatory to follow the plot, but it really gives this book a lot more depth.
If the first brings us the shadow of humanity, this one gives you hope and how things can change with cooperation. It talks way more about politics in a more direct way and points out how authority and power are held in democracy and how we can change that
