El Gran Premio Literario (Spanish Edition) by Byron Rizzo (Independiente) Price verified 7 hours ago

«Cuando se decidió al ganador del Gran Premio Literario, edición 20XX, nadie podría haber imaginado el escándalo que iba a generar. La naturaleza de su problema no radicaba en algún cotilleo irrelevante, un ego herido venenoso ni jurados bañados en parcialidad, como suele ser lo usual. Sino por las leyendas que circulaban entre la comunidad especializada, el público y su ambiente, acerca de quién recibiría el codiciado galardón. Un nombre confuso, lleno de dudas, representando a su desconocido autor. Tampoco era la primera vez que se entregaba dicha ofrenda de mérito a una persona detrás de un seudónimo. En aquella oportunidad, lo novedoso fue que las malas e informadas lenguas, decían que se trataba de un autor que no estaba vivo. Otros afirmaban que no era una sola persona. O quizás, ni siquiera cuadraba dentro de la raza humana.» Un libro que en otras épocas se hubiera podido considerar ciberpunk o de ciencia ficción, hoy es una perturbadora mirada a los avances ...
