nscritos en la tradición de la literatura utópica y extrapolativa, estos relatos presentan un panorama de peligrosas posibilidades en un futuro tan cerano que es casi nuestro presente llevado un poco más allá. Un tiempo de violencia, de superficialidad, de sueños (belleza eterna, juventud, salud, longevidad...) que, una vez realizados, se revelan corruptos y destruyen tanto a los individuos como a la sociedad. Elia Barceló transforma situaciones aparentemente imposibles en episodios inquietantemente probables.

A very good book about the future. Our society is changing a lot, probably soon people can be changed completely physically, because of our scientific progress. This book shows how the future could harm our society in the future by the means of different short stories.

One, for example, tells the story about a Spanish couple who buy the body of two good-looking Africans, because they want to look younger and they are not happy with their look anymore. These Africans accept, because their family needs the money, and they are just allowed to live while their body-owners are sleeping.

A wonderful, but also terrible book about how the future might be if there is still the separation between the classes. I would use the book definitely for 11th/12th grade. ( )
