Produktbeschreibung

Die son was besig om oor Madrid te sak en het die lug 'n intens oranje verander wat in die vensters van die wolkekrabbers weerspieël is, asof die hele stad aan die brand was. In 'n klein, deurmekaar woonstel in die hartjie van Lavapiés het Daniel Sánchez voor 'n warboel kabels en flikkerende skerms gesit, sy bloedbelope oë gevestig op eindelose reëls kode. Die konstante gebrom van rekenaaraanhangers was soos 'n verwronge wiegelied, die enigste klank in 'n ruimte wat na ou koffie en verlepte drome geruik het. Daniël, met sy onversorgde swart hare en 'n paar dae se baard, het meer soos 'n wegbreekman gelyk as die briljante programmeerder wat hy eens was. -"Daar moet 'n manier wees," prewel hy vir homself, sy vingers vlieg met woes dringendheid oor die sleutelbord. 'n Uitweg uit hierdie gat. Sy blik dryf vir 'n oomblik na die hoop onoopgemaakte briewe in die hoek van sy lessenaar. Wetsontwerpe, uitsettingskennisgewings, dreigemente van krediteure. Elke koevert was 'n prikkelende herinnering aan hoe hy tot hierdie punt gekom het. Daniël maak sy oë toe en gun homself 'n oomblik van swakheid. Hy onthou die opgewondenheid, die adrenalien van daardie nie-so-verre dae toe die wêreld van kripto-geldeenhede soos die beloofde land gelyk het. Hy het alles belê: sy spaargeld, lenings, selfs geld wat by vriende en familie geleen is. En toe, in 'n oogwink, was alles weg.

Autorenporträt

Francisco Angulo de Lafuente is a Spanish author, programmer, and biotechnology researcher who has carved out a unique niche at the intersection of science and speculative fiction. Born in Madrid in 1976, Angulo combines his technical expertise with a gift for storytelling that has produced an impressive catalog of 39 published works.

With degrees in Computer Engineering and Biotechnology from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Angulo first gained recognition in the scientific community as the research director of the groundbreaking Ecofa project. His development of second-generation biofuel from bacteria fed with organic waste earned him a patent in 2005 and established him as an innovator in sustainable energy solutions. This revolutionary process, which uses microorganisms to produce biofuel from abundant organic waste materials, demonstrated his ability to think beyond conventional boundariesa skill that would later define his literary career.

Angulo's transition from laboratory to literature has resulted in a prolific output of science fiction novels that blend technical precision with imaginative storytelling. His works, often compared to Jules Verne for their prophetic integration of emerging technologies, explore themes ranging from artificial intelligence and environmental sustainability to post-apocalyptic survival and cyberpunk futures.

Recent acclaimed titles include ApocalipsIA: The Day After AGI (2024), a haunting exploration of artificial general intelligence set in a devastated Madrid; Star Wind: The Pyramid of Destiny (2024), an interplanetary adventure on the alien world of Zephyria; and Shanghai 3 (2024), a cyberpunk thriller set in a mining colony on Europa. His work has garnered international attention, with translations available in multiple languages including Catalan, Danish, and Romanian.

In 2024, Angulo's innovative spirit extended to the tech world when his Enhanced Unified Holographic Neural Network (EUHNN) project, combining ray tracing and CUDA for AI applications, was initially recognized as the winning entry in the NVIDIA and LlamaIndex developer contest, further demonstrating his ability to bridge the gap between theoretical science and practical application.
