Blue Gel
Science Fiction | Fondo De Cultura Económica | 2006 | 131 pages
With tanks full of gel and microbots, people immerse themselves in the network and disconnect from their body and the outside world. When a dead baby appears in the tank of Gloria Cubil, the daughter of one of the most powerful men in Mexico, the lawyers hire Crajales, a low-level detective, to find the culprit. With the help of his former partner, Crajales discovers a network of crime and corruption adapted to new technological realities. Blue Gel is a renowned cyberpunk novel, winner of the Ignotus award in 2007, where artificial paradises also end up being insufficient to give meaning to life.
