¿Y si lo más peligroso del futuro fuera la naturalidad con que se deja aceptar?Catálogo de vidas imposibles reúne una serie de relatos de imaginación especulativa situados en mundos de un porvenir próximo, modelados por la inteligencia artificial, la vigilancia, los sistemas médicos y esas tecnologías que prometen comodidad mientras alteran, casi en silencio, lo que significa ser humano. A lo largo de estas historias, un avance científico viene a perturbar la idea misma de identidad; las instituciones resuelven cuestiones de vida o muerte al amparo de procedimientos y normas; y algunos descubren, demasiado tarde, que los sistemas eficientes rara vez permanecen neutrales.No son historias de galaxias remotas ni de guerras grandiosas. Son más oscuras, más cercanas y, por eso mismo, más inquietantes. Transcurren entre contratos, pantallas, algoritmos, dictámenes médicos y esos momentos privados donde se entreveran el miedo, el amor, la memoria y la resistencia. Cada relato combina espesor psicológico y tensión distópica para explorar la bioética, la identidad, la conciencia y el precio secreto del progreso.Para los lectores de ficción especulativa literaria, de distopías y de relatos sobre inteligencia artificial que todavía aspiran a pensar, Catálogo de vidas imposibles ofrece historias lúcidas, perturbadoras y emocionalmente perdurables, de esas que no abandonan del todo a quien las ha leído. Es un libro sobre elecciones imposibles, vidas frágiles y los sistemas que construimos antes de comprender en qué pueden llegar a convertirse.
