Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Thought-provoking pieces of nonfiction exploring the crossroads of technology with art and science, as well as how hard science fiction has inspired the craziest ideas of our times, for the good and the bad. An essential read for the AI era.The nonfiction pieces included in Technology and Barbarism, as well as the long essay "Capitalist Science Fiction," constitute the nonfiction alternative to Nievas Dengue Boy and has similar potential to achieve cult-status. Equally fast and furious, grounded in deep research as well as far-reaching literary traditions, Nieva writes about the crossroads between civilization and barbarism through history, literature, and the incidence of genetics in the arts and humanities. Could the inspiration for Kafka's stories have come from his visits to human zoos where he saw indigenous people kidnapped from Tierra del Fuego? Can an algorithm understand the verses of Ruben Dario? Can bacteria write literature? And can a monkey reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare? These are some of the questions that run through this collection of essays, which explores the almost always ambiguous threshold that technology and culture have drawn between what is understood as human and what is not, living and nonliving, and which is the seed of the biggest questions of this century. From nineteenth century science fiction to contemporary art exhibitions, via a philosophical take on COVID, this book examines the impact of capitalism, indigenous extermination, medical policies in Latin America and elsewhere, in order to interrogate our very identity.In "Capitalist Science Fiction," Nieva studies the influence of historical "hard" science fiction on technology and capitalism today, with a special focus on Silicon Valley, and a particular spin at the end on, of course, Elon Musk. The essay is totally timely and super smart. "Thought-provoking pieces of nonfiction exploring the crossroads of technology with art and science, as well as how hard science fiction has inspired the craziest ideas of our times, for the good and the bad"-- Provided by publisher.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The year is 2272 and the last of the polar icecaps have melted. New York and Buenos Aires were submerged years ago and the Patagonian Archipelagos have been radically transformed into the only habitable lands on Earth. Here, in the unbearable heat of Victorica, Argentina, our child protagonist is a humanoid mosquito. Carrier of the deadly dengue virus, his monstrous appearance not only makes him a target for his cruel classmates - led by the little tyrant El Dulce - but also elicits disgust from his own mother.As the world spirals to its end, Dengue Boy searches for the meaning of his life and his true origins. Elsewhere, adults negotiate the value of pandemics on the Stock Exchange and waste the last of Earth's resources, while children more privileged than Dengue Boy plug into virtual realities and constant streams of violent video games. In delirious prose that brings together the picaresque, manga, body horror and cyberpunk, Dengue Boy delivers an extraordinary and bizarre portrait of a demented future. Borges meets Isabel Waidner and Mariana Enriquez in this punk dystopia which introduces a bold, brilliant new voice from Argentina Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Zustand: New. "I can't remember the last book that pushed science fiction's potential for weirdness as far as Dengue Boy."-The Washington Post"A wildly original anti-capitalist satire."-The Guardian"A psychedelic fever dream."-Esquire"An exuberant, gore-spattered romp of a climate fiction novel, shot through with cosmic terrors and delivered in a pyretic, exclamatory style."-LocusFor fans of David Cronenberg's films and lovers of Kafka, this gaucho-punk, sci-fi novel set in 2197 offers an explosive interpretation of an ultra-capitalistic society on the brink of climate collapse.The protagonist of this story has no understanding of the words "winter", "cold", or "snow" because he has never experienced the phenomena they describe. We find ourselves in Victorica, a province of La Pampa, Argentina, some time after 2197 - the year in which the last of the Antarctic icecaps melted and an unprecedented climate catastrophe ensued, radically transforming the landscape of the region into a Caribbean Pampas. It is here that the Dengue Child grows up, a mutant mix of child and mosquito, the result of crazy experimenting driven by ultra-capitalistic corporations racing against each other to own viruses and their cures, destroying even their very own children's existence to cash in on the stock exchange.Another of the surprising effects of the thaw is the appearance of powerful telepathic pebbles from the bowels of the earth that seem to encapsulate the world's original wisdom, and which are the subject of lucrative smuggling. Meanwhile, the wealthy of the region chose to cruise around on ships where they can experience ice-skating and hand carve ice from valuable remains of glaciers. In their ultra-air conditioned homes, their kids play Indians vs Christians, a brutal video game set in the historical 19th century. The future according to Michel Nieva looks frenetic and shocking. His is one of the most exciting literary voices emerging from Argentina, packing punches in a deeply intelligent, informed, and humorful prose which takes root in Latin American storytelling and sci-fi tradition.
