12 bytes. Cómo vivir y amar en el futuro
by Jeanette WintersonUno de los libros del año según The Guardian, Financial Times y Evening Standard «Un libro impactante, ingenioso y excelentemente documentado que ofrece una mirada feminista a la revolución de la inteligencia artificial». Charlotte Cripps, The Independent «Cuando leo a Winterson siento con certeza que estamos en el umbral de algo nuevo, de algo bueno». Nuria Barrios Cuando creemos formas de vida no biológicas, ¿lo haremos a nuestra imagen y semejanza, o aprovecharemos la primera oportunidad en la historia de nuestra especie para «re-crearnos» y hacerlo a su imagen y semejanza? ¿Cómo serán el amor, los cuidados, el sexo y el apego cuando los seres humanos entablemos relaciones con seres no humanos que ejerzan de profesores, trabajadoras sexuales o figuras de compañía?¿Qué será de nuestros arraigadísimos prejuicios de género? ¿Disfrutaremos en breve de mejoras biológicas e implantes neurales que nos permitan mantenernos en forma, más jóvenes y conectados? Tras años de reflexión y lectura sobre la inteligencia artificial, Jeanette Winterson recurre a la historia, la religión, la mitología, la literatura, la política y, por supuesto, la informática para ayudarnos a entender los cambios radicales que ya se están produciendo en nuestra forma de vivir y de amar. Con un derroche de ingenio, humor y empatía, nos invita a abrir los ojos y expandir la mente. La crítica ha dicho...«A través de la heterodoxia de sus textos, Winterson dinamita categorías, vocabularios y convenciones tristes. Una escritora maravillosa».Marta Sanz, Babelia «Mientras la mayoría de autores y autoras se limitan a regurgitar la imaginación de sus antecesores, [...] esta inglesa rebelde se pone la literatura por montera y la reinventa».M.ª Ángeles Cabré, Babelia «Provocador y necesario».The Guardian «Enérgica y despreocupada, Winterson conecta los puntos y ordena una historia de mujeres científicas, visionarias y descifradoras de códigos».Claire Armitstead, The Observer «Una lectura amena e inusual, [...] impregnada del mismo humor delicioso y seco que el resto de su obra».Laura Grace Simpkins, New Scientist «Aunque algunos aspectos de este futuro de la inteligencia artificial sean aterradores, no puedo imaginar nada más atractivo que este libro para cualquiera que, sin ser un científico, desee entender los retos y las posibilidades de este nuevo "mundo feliz"».Stephanie Merritt, The Guardian «La prosa de Winterson es magnética. Desmonta tópicos en cada párrafo».Andreu Gomila, Time Out «Una fuerza desatada de la naturaleza. Ella sola es el cambio climático entero».Carmen Morán Breña, El País

12.21
by Dustin ThomasonFrom the co-author of the two-million copy mega-bestseller The Rule of Four comes a riveting thriller with a brilliant premise based on the 2012 apocalypse phenomenon--perfect for readers of Steve Berry, Preston and Child, and Dan Brown. For decades, December 21, 2012, has been a touchstone for doomsayers worldwide. It is the date, they claim, when the ancient Maya calendar predicts the world will end. In Los Angeles, two weeks before, all is calm. Dr. Gabriel Stanton takes his usual morning bike ride, drops off the dog with his ex-wife, and heads to the lab where he studies incurable prion diseases for the CDC. His first phone call is from a hospital resident who has an urgent case she thinks he needs to see. Meanwhile, Chel Manu, a Guatemalan American researcher at the Getty Museum, is interrupted by a desperate, unwelcome visitor from the black market antiquities trade who thrusts a duffel bag into her hands. By the end of the day, Stanton, the foremost expert on some of the rarest infections in the world, is grappling with a patient whose every symptom confounds and terrifies him. And Chel, the brightest young star in the field of Maya studies, has possession of an illegal artifact that has miraculously survived the centuries intact: a priceless codex from a lost city of her ancestors. This extraordinary record, written in secret by a royal scribe, seems to hold the answer to her life's work and to one of history's great riddles: why the Maya kingdoms vanished overnight. Suddenly it seems that our own civilization might suffer this same fate. With only days remaining until December 21, 2012, Stanton and Chel must join forces before time runs out.

1222: A Hanne Wilhelmsen Novel (Hanne Wilhelmsen #Volumen 8)
by Anne HoltAVISO A LOS LECTORES:Cuando leas un libro de la serie de la inspectora Hanne Wilhelmsen no vas a poder parar. «Anne Holt es la última autora nórdica en revelar cuánto oscurece en Escandinavia.»Val McDermid A 1.222 metros sobre el nivel del mar, los doscientos viajeros de un tren atrapado en la nieve se preparan para pasar la noche en un vetusto hotel de montaña mientras se cierne sobre ellos la peor tormenta de nieve de la historia de Noruega. Con comida de sobra para unos días y refugio contra la tormenta, los evacuados creen que están a salvo... hasta que uno de ellos aparece muerto. Paralizada en una silla de ruedas, la inspectora de policía jubilada Hanne Wilhelmsen no quiere involucrarse, pero cuando aparece otro cuerpo se desata el pánico entre los pasajeros. Mientras tanto crecen los rumores de que el tren transportaba una carga secreta, y unos guardias armados custodiaban la última planta del hotel. Atrapados como están, Hanne sabe que tiene que actuar antes de que el asesino vuelva a matar. La crítica ha dicho...«Una vuelta de tuerca al clásico Diez negritos [...Holt combina creativamente la clásica historia de detectives con el thriller escandinavo de una manera que hará que los fans de ambos géneros no puedan para de leer. Un libro imprescindible.»Booklist «Un homenaje absolutamente moderno y fascinante a la clásica novela de detectives.»Der Spiegle «Una gran historia ajena a las modas. Aquí no hay rastro de Stieg Larsson. Holt se parece más a Ruth Rendell o a Patricia Highsmith.»Globe and Mail «Una lectura absorbente y adictiva que convertirá a Anne Holt en una de vuestras autoras preferidas.»Bookreporter.com «Anne Holt maneja el arte de la creación de tramas a la manera de una Agatha Christie en su forma de crear thrillers.»Cleveland Plain-Dealer
