Summarized on Amazon.com "Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. [...] Twenty-second century Cholos living on Cali-Texas Reservations have few options. One of them is signing up as Moon Tecos, technicians disposing of Earth's waste on Lunar sites. After discovering that their Teco contracts are one-way tickets, the LUNAR BRACEROS are forced to take matters into their own hands."

In her "Future Histories and Cyborg Labor: Reading Borderlands Science Fiction After NAFTA," Lysa Rivera notes that "With its interest in information technologies and its critical assessment of multinational capitalism, Lunar Braceros adheres closely to the conventions of cyberpunk, but with one critical difference: the attention it places on racializd power and on labor practices in the near (dystopian) future" (in Latham, p. 543).
