| Synopsis | What will social media and the devices we use to communicate and organize our lives be like in the future? In this collection of stories, Andrea Chapela masterfully narrates a future where a collection of devices such as sensory screens, pings, ansibles, contact lenses and profilers – many of them installed inside the human body – allow people to connect to a cloud, control their perceptions of reality, know other people's thoughts, share and "live" the experiences of others, as well as calculate the success of a romantic relationship or make calls that reproduce the physical presence of the interlocutors. Technology seems inseparable from human experience, from decision-making and everyday tasks; however, the protagonists of these stories, far from having their lives figured out, face love, breakups, the complexity of their family relationships and the search for their own identity while the limits of reality are increasingly less clear. |
