Los tiempos del odio (Bruna Husky, #3)Los tiempos del odio by Rosa Montero
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

"Los tiempos de odio" es una novela escrita por la aclamada autora española Rosa Montero. El libro se publicó por primera vez en 2018 y es la tercera entrega de la serie Bruna Husky.

La historia tiene lugar en un futuro distópico donde el mundo se divide en dos partes, los privilegiados y los oprimidos. El personaje principal, Bruna Husky, es un replicante, una especie de humano artificial, que trabaja como detective privado. La contratan para investigar el asesinato de un famoso genetista, que estaba trabajando en un proyecto revolucionario que podría cambiar el mundo.

Mientras Bruna profundiza en la investigación, descubre una peligrosa conspiración que involucra a personas y corporaciones poderosas. También enfrenta desafíos personales, como lidiar con su propia mortalidad y su complicada relación con su amante, el inspector humano Miquel Lizard.

La escritura de Montero es atractiva y crea un mundo vívido y detallado que es a la vez cautivador y aterrador. Los personajes están bien desarrollados y sus relaciones y motivaciones son complejas y creíbles. Bruna es una protagonista convincente, y sus luchas con su propia identidad y mortalidad añaden profundidad a la historia.

Uno de los puntos fuertes de la novela es su exploración de temas importantes como la identidad, la libertad y las consecuencias del progreso científico. El libro plantea preguntas que invitan a la reflexión sobre la naturaleza de la humanidad y el papel de la tecnología en nuestras vidas. Rosa Montero en esta tercera novela aclara algunas definiciones de tecnología y términos utilizados en el género de ciencia ficción que no estaban presentes en sus dos primeras novelas.

The Long Mars

The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars "The Long Mars," the third installment in the Long Earth series, continues to expand the already vast canvas of Pratchett and Baxter's creation. While the concept of "Joker Mars" – echoing the familiar "Joker Earths" – is intriguing, it's just one of three distinct narrative threads woven throughout this book. We follow Sally Linsay on a journey across the Martian Stepped worlds, unraveling the mysteries her father, Willis, seeks. This exploration of the alien landscapes of the Long Mars is certainly compelling, but personally, it was the storyline involving "The Next" that truly captivated me. Joshua Valiente's arc, which delves into the emergence of these post-human children, is where the book really shines. It's a powerful exploration of prejudice, fear, and the potential societal clashes that arise when faced with the "other." The authors masterfully tackle ...

The Long Utopia

The Long Utopia by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars In The Long Utopia, a novel in the Long Earth series, the artificial intelligences Agnes and Lobsang embark on a unique endeavor: adopting a human child, Ben, and attempting to build a normal pioneering life on one of the seemingly infinite parallel Earths. However, their peaceful existence takes a dramatic turn with the human pioneers discovering a peculiar species dubbed 'silver beetles'. These insects exhibit an unusual behavior of 'stepping down' to lower-numbered Earths. As the pioneers observe them, a terrifying realization dawns: the silver beetles are not merely migrating; they are systematically transforming their chosen parallel Earth into a colossal Dyson Motor, a structure designed to harness the star's energy. Lobsang, with his advanced analytical capabilities, understands the catastrophic implications. These silver beetles can step sideways to other parallel Earths, potentially converting an...

The Long Cosmos

The Long Cosmos by Terry Pratchett My rating: 2 of 5 stars Having just finished "The Long Cosmos," the final installment in the "Long Earth" series—a collaboration Stephen Baxter completed after Terry Pratchett's passing—I found myself a bit disappointed by the number of loose ends left unresolved. I think a core challenge in classifying this series as traditional science fiction lies in its fundamental premise, which sidesteps the real-world physics limitations of interstellar travel. Knowing the near impossibility of venturing beyond our solar system due to light-speed limits, the authors cleverly engineered the parallel Earth concept as their vehicle for cosmic exploration. Instead of launching spaceships, the characters simply "step" into new worlds. This ingenious workaround allows for adventure without grappling with conventional astrophysical constraints. While "The Long Cosmos" does bring humanity's journey across the infinite ...
