Will human beings end up worshiping machines? Will the machines have rights? How is people's inner landscape being transformed in the face of the mutation of the outer landscape? In The Way of the Future Edmundo Paz Soldán, one of the unavoidable references of current Latin American literature, explores the disturbing and labyrinthine relationships of the human being with artificial intelligence: an unusual journey that opens the doors of the possibilities to a future that already is here. Thus, through a Church whose divinity is Artificial Intelligence, work communities directed by a hologram, UFO sightings, companion androids, astronauts without memory and drugs that transport you to another dimension, Paz Soldán looks this disturbing world in the face. Here there are troubled characters trying to find their place in the middle of a landscape in which we do not know if the machines are thinking something different from what their creators made them think or if they are even capable of dreaming. With its investigation into the impact of new technologies on everyday life and its ability to summon the strange, this book is essential for addicts of series like Black Mirror or the worlds of Stanislaw Lem, Brian Evenson, Caitlin Kiernan and J. G. Ballard.
