Product Details
Overview
En un futuro remoto, el consejo directivo de la Academia del Registro se dispone a emprender un proyecto monumental: reconstruir la vida de su fundador Alejandro Cisto a partir de los textos dispersos que dejó. El resultado de tan encomiable labor es el libro que el lector tiene en sus manos.
Alejandro Cisto era un iluminado, que vivió en los años del siglo XX , en una sociedad atrapada en la inconsciencia, la enajenación y el automatismo. Cisto dejó constancia de su preocupación en diversos apuntes. Aunque quizás, para los lectores del penúltimo año de la era de la infancia, aquella sociedad les resulte anticuada y completamente superada, es la prueba de que la humanidad supo evolucionar y salir de su ensimismamiento para expandir su consciencia individual y colectiva.
La expansión del presente es una obra de una genialidad incomparable, Grinberg recurre a la metaficción para entregarnos su primera novela de ciencia ficción llena de reflexiones agudas sobre la sociedad de finales del siglo XX, pero que de alguna manera sigue siendo la de hoy.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“TRANSFORMATION, CISTO SAID, IS CREATION. SEEING THE WORLD AS AN INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION, WHILE RESPECTING ITS ESSENCE, IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.” —J. G. Z.
In the distant future, the board of directors of the Academy of Records sets out to undertake a monumental project: to reconstruct the life of its founder, Alejandro Cisto, based on the scattered texts he left behind. The result of this commendable work is the book you hold in your hands.
Alejandro Cisto was a visionary thinker who lived in the 20th century in a society trapped in unconsciousness, alienation, and automatism. Cisto recorded his concerns in various notes. Although perhaps, for readers in the penultimate year of childhood, that society may seem outdated and completely surpassed, it is proof that humanity knew how to evolve and emerge from its self-absorption to expand its individual and collective consciousness.
The Expansion of the Present is a work of incomparable genius. Grinberg uses metafiction to deliver his first science fiction novel, full of sharp reflections on late 20th-century society, which in some ways remains the same today.
