Latest great novel by the celebrated Argentine author nominated for the Man Booker Prize 2017. Samanta Schweblin has created a fascinating universe, a world where we don't know who is watching us and where we can be masters or pets. What would happen if people from anywhere on the planet could intrude into the lives of others? Through what device would they do it? How far could human creativity go to take advantage of this situation? Each of the characters in this novel embodies the most chilling side of technology. Thousands of cases are already being reported in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Oaxaca, and it is rapidly spreading to all corners of the world. They are not pets, nor ghosts, nor robots. They are real citizens, and the problem —the news says and is shared on social media— is that a person living in Berlin should not be able to freely wander through the living room of another person living in Sydney; nor should someone living in Bangkok have breakfast with your children in your apartment in Buenos Aires. Critics have said... "Terrifying and brilliant." "What's brilliant isn't what Schweblin says, but how she says it. It has such an enigmatic and disciplined design that the book seems to belong to a new literary genre." "Samanta Schweblin will unsettle you, no matter how safe you feel." "One of the most compelling and fantastic novels I have ever read." "The unique style, fast pace, and incredibly wise and compact storytelling create a special novel that will stay in your mind long after you close this book." |
