In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance. When a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city’s orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society, she can’t imagine the strength she will find. A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love—together.Par Waubgeshig Rice. 2023

A shy and apolitical herpetologist-in-training finds the weight of history bearing down on him as the effects of repression ramp…
up in his country In an unspecified country that combines elements of Chile under its military regime, South Africa under apartheid, and Italy under fascism, fifteen-year-old Karel Roeder asks only to be left alone to learn from Albert, his mentor at the zoo&’s reptile house, and to devote himself to his girlfriend, Leda. But both Leda and Albert lead him into increasingly proscribed areas of thought and speech, and thus into conflict with a newly ascendant party that intends to prosecute a border war against an officially despised ethnic group and criminalize dissent. Citizens have been disappearing and surveillance in the name of safety has become all-pervasive. When Kehr, a special assistant of the civil guard, billets himself at Karel&’s house for unknown reasons, Karel finds his already tenuous hold on his own innocence crushed as Kehr—tribune, inquisitor, and metaphysician of terror—instructs his unwilling protégé in those moments when history is let off the leash. Lights Out in the Reptile House is at once a dystopian political parable, a meditation on totalitarianism, and a moving coming-of-age story, as its protagonist struggles to understand his own values and meaning even in the most extreme of crucibles.Par Arthur C. Clarke. 2012

Jack Branson is an aspiring journalist for a large publishing company. He is assigned to report on a government-supported medical…
scheme called Ever Young, a gene-editing procedure that promises to eliminate all genetic frailties and negative medical conditions. Those who commit to the scheme will be guaranteed good health until the age of 95, whereupon they would submit to the government’s terms of termination. Magnum, a world-famous German computer company, has taken control of the Ever Young scheme, and their deep pockets allow them control of the government. But Jack discovers Magnum’s deeply concerning wartime history. The corruption and violence that ensue when these eugenicists are entrusted with data of a now intimately networked world threaten the entire global order.

el primer libro de relatos de Laura Fernández. «Un humor y una inteligencia que van más allá de cualquier IA de origen terrícola que podamos imaginar. Leerlos es un viaje intergaláctico a los confines de un universo literario lleno de damas y caballeros (algunos con tres ojos) apasionados y locos por los libros y la escritura».Lola Larumbe, librería Alberti (Madrid)Los relatos aquí reunidos son lo que podríamos llamar «cuentos escogidos», y si algo tienen en común es que no son de este planeta. Literalmente. Pues están ambientados en desopilantemente absurdos rincones de la galaxia. Con un humor y una imaginación que no se detienen ante nada ni nadie, Laura Fernández reinventa nuestro mundo desde otros infinitos mundos poblados por famosos detectives mutantes, periodistas fantasma, dinosaurios oficinistas, autodirigibles que hablan más de la cuenta, limoneros que no son exactamente lo que parecen y habitantes de otros planetas que podrían habitar perfectamente éste. Estas novelas en miniatura dan cuenta del exuberante universo que Laura Fernández ha ido creando y expandiendo a lo largo de quince años. Además de los cuentos que han sido editados previamente —en todo tipo de pequeñas publicaciones y antologías—, Damas, caballeros y planetas incluye un prólogo y otros textos adicionales de la propia autora, así como una nouvelle y un relato inéditos.

Lo maravilloso de su narrativa es que siempre apela al niño que hay en ti. Y eso, a día de hoy, es impagable».Bernabé Naharro, librería Luces (Málaga) «Si fuera librera, Laura Fernández sería una lectora voraz, entusiasta, selectiva, audaz.

&“A remarkable tour de force&” by the acclaimed author and philosopher—a classic science fiction &“thriller with depth&” for fans of…
1984 and Brave New World (The New York Times). After the psychological revolution opened humankind&’s minds to an all-new form of consciousness, society split in two. On the Earth&’s surface rules Alpha, the benevolent, all-powerful dictator who&’s constant ministrations have left his subjects undeniably happy and satisfied but also obedient and unquestioning. Below the surface lies the kingdom of the Mole—the gloomy domain of an even darker and crueler leader. Embittered by his lot underground, he leads his people on a revolt against their obsequious overhead counterparts. And their ultimate weapon is nearly ready—a man who has been genetically and psychologically molded to be a near-perfect double of the Alpha. A covert agent who, once in place, could change the fate of both civilizations—and humanity itself—forever. Both a brilliant examination of human identity, and a gripping science fiction narrative, Doppelgangers is a dystopian novel decades ahead of its time.Par Maurice Medland. 2007
