This book is dedicated to the resilient spirit of the Chicano people, to the ancestors who paved the way, and to the countless stories whispered on the wind across the Rio Grande. It is a testament to their unwavering strength, their vibrant culture, and their enduring connection to the land. This dedication extends to the curanderas and healers, whose wisdom and magic have sustained communities for generations, weaving together the threads of tradition and innovation. Their knowledge, passed down through generations, echoes in the futuristic cityscapes and bio-mechanical augmentations of this narrative; a reminder that the past is not merely a relic but a living force, shaping our present and illuminating our future.
