Book description
En los futuros donde suceden estos diez relatos, una colección de dispositivos como pings, ansibles, lentillas, perfiladores o telones sensoriales –algunos de ellos instalados dentro del cuerpo humano– permiten a las personas conectar sus mentes en una nube digital, compartir sus pensamientos y memorias, ponerles filtros a sus percepciones o calcular el éxito de un romance, mientras comen tacos de canasta o navegan sobre las calles de una Ciudad de México totalmente cubierta por el agua. Con una inteligencia arrasadora, Andrea Chapela enfrenta a las protagonistas a realidades donde el conocimiento científico, la tecnología de punta y la vida cotidiana interactúan de forma cada vez más intrincada e inevitable, de modo que incluso en la intimidad de la mente ya no reina la voz de la propia conciencia. La tecnología deja de ser un fetiche técnico para mostrar su capacidad de moldear los afectos y los vínculos humanos. ¿Cómo transformarán estas máquinas de ingenio las experiencias del amor, la amistad, la culpa, el envejecimiento o la muerte?Nada nos dice tanto del presente como el ejercicio de especular sobre el futuro, sobre todo cuando este parece habernos alcanzado. Si desde la ciencia ficción suelen florecer las escrituras más innovadoras, con esta colección de cuentos Andrea Chapela se revela como una extraordinaria cultora del género.\
