The Sin of Youth
by Matheus Mundim Bruna PickerThe Sin of Youth by Matheus Mundim The Sin of Youth is about getting old and the desire to go back in time to change things, relive moments, and flames. The Sin of Youth is a contemporary novel with philosophical existentialist characteristics. The book portrays a moment in the life of young Jamie in which he wakes up in a room in another world. As he leaves the room, he sees a group of people and notes that they are all the folks he once knew and loved in his life, all together and gathered, drinking and partying. Impressed and extremely happy he approaches, confronting Thomas and Luke. They explain that the party was to honor the farewell of his youth. It was the last moment to hang out with everybody and say goodbye. Sad and frustrated, he asks what he can do. They then tell him about the Elder Wizard, who would own the time, and could help him maintain his youth. However, they warn: the way to reach the old man is difficult and tortuous, few have succeeded, and, mainly, time is short. Still, Jamie insists, following a path that makes him come across old memories, old loves, old "I's", wondering what his past "selves" would do if they knew the unfolding of such pure and delicate scenes. If they only knew how some words would mean after a few years. It is a mix of pain, sensitivity, frustration, and happiness to review some moments.

SINdicate (The New Lyons Sequence #2)
by J. T. NicholasThe Post-Modern Prometheus Synths were manufactured to look human and perform physical labor, but they were still only machines. That’s what the people who used—and abused—them believed, until the truth was revealed: Synths are independent, sentient beings. Now, the governments of the world must either recognize their human nature and grant them their rightful freedom, or brace for a revolution. Former New Lyons Detective Jason Campbell has committed himself to the Synths’ cause, willing to fight every army the human race marches against them. But they have an even greater enemy in Walton Biogenics, the syndicate behind the creation and distribution of the “artificial” humans. The company will stop at nothing to protect their secrets—and the near-mythological figure known to Synths as “The First,” whose very existence threatens the balance of power across the world . . . Praise for SINthetic “Darkly engrossing, SINthetic shines a stark light on the age-old question, what does it mean to be human?”—Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author

Sinfín
by Martín CaparrósSinfín es una distopía hiperbólica que orbita alrededor de la gran obsesión humana: la inmortalidad. Una novela en la que el escritor y periodista argentino Martín Caparrós combina lo mejor de la escritura periodística y la ficción. El error es el cuerpo. Morir es fallar. En 2070, una forma nueva de la vida eterna se ha convertido en el mayor logro de nuestra civilización. La palabra china pronunciada tsian -paraíso- es el invento que la gran Samar ofreció al mundo y que ha transformado las vidas y las muertes de miles de millones. Pero más allá de lo que cuenta la mitología oficial nadie conoce su verdadera historia. Sinfín empieza en un pequeño pueblo de la selva patagónica, un lugar remoto detenido en el tiempo donde la enfermedad, la vejez y la muerte existen todavía. Allí se inicia la búsqueda de la mujer que desvelará la verdadera historia: los sacrificios humanos silenciados, los intereses ocultos y las circunstancias que propiciaron el salto más sorprendente de la técnica humana en un mundo que, mientras tanto, se deshace en guerras religiosas y migraciones sin fin. Sinfín no es una novela sin ficción sino una ficción sin novela. Es el relato fidedigno de algo que todavía no terminó de suceder: una historia fascinante y reveladora contada a la manera de las mejores crónicas, pensada al modo de los mejores ensayos, que ofrece los datos menos conocidos, las hipótesis más atrevidas, los análisis definitivos sobre aquel golpe de genio que terminaría por cambiar el mundo. Reseñas:«Caparrós utiliza la literatura para acompañarnos a un infierno hecho de una realidad a la que a menudo se le presta solo una atención distraída»Roberto Saviano «Caparrós es colosal en esos terrenos resbaladizos donde las cosas dejan de encajar en los moldes correctos.»Leila Guerriero, Babelia «El mejor cronista actualde América Latina: un soberbio entrevistador, un viajero dotado de cultura enciclopédica y de una fina ironía.»Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia «La lectura de La Historia liquida la discusión sobre si en Martín Caparrós predomina el cronista sobre el novelista: lo que leemos es una gran crónica, como en sus otras dos obras maestras, El Interior y El Hambre, pero de un mundo que no existe.»Jorge Carrión, Revista de Letras «Es una obra rica y ambiciosa, una empresa arriesgada que debe ser conocida.»Juan Goytisolo «Caparrós es un escritor superdotado, seductor, con un talento natural para mantener el equilibro narrativo.»Nadal Suau, El Cultural «Martín Caparrós no es de esos que te dicen lo que quieres escuchar. Sería más bien del campo contrario: esos que te tiran a la cara lo que rechazas y escondes.»Oriane Jeancourt, Le Transfuge
