Ciberyo

by LUIS ALBERTO HENR­QUEZ HERNÁNDEZ

In the late 21st century, society is both advanced and humanized, but Daniel Vans finds no appeal in neon lights, holographic ads, or designer drugs. Confined to a wheelchair, he spends his days isolated in his apartment, connected to a virtual reality console, navigating the deep web as an encrypted human information unit. His isolation seems to lead inexorably to a tragic end. The launch of CIBERYO technology -cybernetic copies of people with a shared consciousness system- could be the ideal alternative to his unsatisfying life. This new technology could expand Daniel's physical world and help him rediscover forgotten pleasures, including love. CIBERYO is more than just artificial intelligence. But what happens when we transfer our human consciousness into silicon microcircuits? Is artificial consciousness the new frontier of robotics? This short science fiction novel blends action and transhumanist philosophy, straddling the genres of cyberpunk and noir to raise questions about the future of humanity.

Los robots de Asimov, los neones de Blade Runner y los implantes de Deus Ex... Un correcto relato con todos los componentes scifi
