A central theme of La Guerra de Crier is the philosophical inquiry into humanity. In a twist on the classic Isaac Asimov tropes, Varela presents a world where robots have usurped humanity not out of malice, but out of a belief in their own superiority. The novel interrogates the definition of a soul. Is it biological flesh and blood, or is it the capacity to feel, to question, and to love? As Crier begins to exhibit "flaws"—emotions and independent thoughts—the line between human and machine blurs. This theme resonates deeply in the digital age, where the boundaries between organic life and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly relevant.

Imagina un mundo post-apocalíptico donde los humanos ya no son la especie dominante. Hace siglos, los Automatae (Autómatas), criaturas creadas originalmente como sirvientes, se rebelaron, diezmaron a la humanidad y construyeron un nuevo orden social. En este mundo, los Autómatas son la realeza, los jueces y los dioses, mientras que los humanos (llamados "los desechos") viven como sirvientes, mineros o rebeldes en las sombras.
