Trece monos
by César MallorquíLa esperada vuelta a la literatura para adultos de un gran clásico de la ciencia ficción y la fantasía. Cargado de una ironía que se revela ya desde su título, Trece monos es un compendio de los mejores nuevos relatos de César Mallorquí, un autor al que se espera con entusiasmo desde la sonada publicación en los años 90 de El círculo de Jericó, para muchos el mejor libro de narrativa breve de ciencia ficción jamás publicado por un autor español. Además de un espectacular retorno al género tras dos décadas de éxito en la literatura juvenil, la antología supone una oportunidad única de disfrutar de las mejores piezas de Mallorquí, entre las que se incluyen cuentos inéditos y otros premiados y aparecidos en diversas publicaciones, tanto españolas como extranjeras. En Trece monos, Mallorquí añade a su ilustrado sentido de la irreverencia una dura mirada a la condición humana, reflexionando con humor y lucidez, aveces entre carcajadas, sobre la decadencia, la muerte o la falta de valores. Gaudí resucitado virtualmente, el señor Scrooge vendiendo juguetes sexuales en Navidad, Dios con el rostro de Hugh Laurie... Pero también la humanidad del siglo XXIII, el secreto de la longevidad, una partida de ajedrez milenaria, un cartógrafo regalando una isla a su amada... Y unos extraños monos que escriben novelas. He aquí al mejor Mallorquí, al más maduro y al más vitriólico, al rey de la ciencia ficción de calidad.

Beyond Cyberpunk: New Critical Perspectives (Routledge Studies In Contemporary Literature Ser. #3)
by Graham J. MurphyThis book is a collection of essays that considers the continuing cultural relevance of the cyberpunk genre into the new millennium. Cyberpunk is no longer an emergent phenomenon, but in our digital age of CGI-driven entertainment, the information economy, and globalized capital, we have never more been in need of a fiction capable of engaging with a world shaped by information technology. The essays in explore our cyberpunk realities to soberly reconsider Eighties-era cyberpunk while also mapping contemporary cyberpunk. The contributors seek to move beyond the narrow strictures of cyberpunk as defined in the Eighties and contribute to an ongoing discussion of how to negotiate exchanges among information technologies, global capitalism, and human social existence. The essays offer a variety of perspectives on cyberpunk’s diversity and how this sub-genre remains relevant amidst its transformation from a print fiction genre into a more generalized set of cultural practices, tackling the question of what it is that cyberpunk narratives continue to offer us in those intersections of literary, cultural, theoretical, academic, and technocultural environments.

El misterio de Punta Escondida (Rexcatadores #Volumen 1)
by Juan Gómez-Jurado Bárbara Montes¡Acción, humor y aventuras! Primera entrega de una divertida serie infantil «Los Rexcatadores» firmada por Juan Gómez Jurado, junto a la psicóloga infantil Bárbara Montes. Imagina que tus padres te envían a pasar las vacaciones con tus estrafalarios abuelos en una casa perdida en un lugar llamado Punta Escondida, lejos de tus amigos y de la Play. No parece el mejor plan, ¿verdad? Imagina ahora que tu abuela cocina tartas mágicas capaces de hacerte volar por los aires, que tu abuelo tiene un laboratorio lleno de inventos alucinantes y que en el desván vive un tipo verde y enorme llamado Rex que, a pesar de sus terroríficas fauces y su larga cola, es de lo más encantador. Eso ya suena bastante mejor, ¿no? Y si además conoces a una niña un poco rarita pero muy simpática, y vivís juntos la mayor aventura que jamás hubieras imaginado, entonces puede que estas sean las mejores vacaciones de tu vida... Comienza a leer...«El pueblo de Bahía Calamar parecía sacado de una de esas postales que le enviaban mamá y papá cuando salían de viaje de fin de semana y él se quedaba con la canguro: no muy grande, con calles empedradas y casas con fachadas pintadas de rojo, amarillo, azul, rosa... Si hubiese una palabra que lo definiese a la perfección, esa palabra sería ABURRIDO. El camino de la costa no era más que un camino de tierra, con la playa (enorme, de arena fina y blanca) a un lado y, al otro, un frondoso bosque de enormes robles, hayas y muchos otros tipos de árboles que él no conocía... Tal vez tilos y fresnos. Max caminaba pensando en lo desafortunado que era, en lo mucho que echaba de menos la ciudad, a sus amigos y sus videojuegos. En lo maravilloso que habría sido el verano con todos esos largos días por delante para jugar con la consola en el sofá de su casa, ver la tele y bajar de vez en cuando a la piscina del lujoso bloque de pisos en el que vivía con sus padres. Tan inmerso en esos pensamientos caminaba, que no se dio cuenta de que alguien le seguía, escondiéndose entre los árboles...»
