El Juego de Ender | O.S.C.
In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.
La novela más famosa de ciencia ficción moderna: un clásico indiscutible, ganadora de los premios Hugo, Nebula y SF Chronicle. La Tierra se ve amenazada por una raza extraterrestre, los Insectores, que se comunican telepáticamente y consideran no tener nada en común con los humanos, a quienes pretenden destruir. Para vencerlos es necesario una nueva clase de genio militar, y por ello se ha permitido el nacimiento de Ender, lo que constituye, en cierta forma, una anomalía, pues es el tercer hijo de una pareja en un mundo que ha limitado estrictamente a dos el número de descendientes. El niño Ender deberá aprender todo lo relativo a la guerra en los videojuegos y en los peligrosos ensayos de batallas espaciales que realiza con sus compañeros. A la habilidad en el tratamiento de las emociones, ya característica de Orson Scott Card, se une en este libro el interés por el empleo de las simulaciones por ordenador y los juegos de fantasía en la formación militar, estratégica y psicológica del protagonista. Reseñas:<br/>«El gran libro de ciencia ficción para adolescentes que no leen ciencia ficción, principalmente porque no habla de robots sino de niños contra adultos.»<br/>El diario.es «Una historia con acción e ideas que incluso los no lectores devorarán con avidez.»<br/>iPulp Fiction
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley · 1932
Speaker for the Dead | O.S.C.
When you really know somebody you can’t hate them. Or maybe it’s just that you can’t really know them until you stop hating them.
Solaris | Stanislaw Lem
Man has gone out to explore other worlds and other civilizations without having explored his own labyrinth of dark passages and secret chambers, and without finding what lies behind doorways that he himself has sealed.
“A fantastic book.” —Steven Soderbergh<br/><br/>When psychologist Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface, he finds himself confronting a painful memory embodied in the physical likeness of a past lover. Kelvin learns that he is not alone in this and that other crews examining the planet are plagued with their own repressed and newly real memories. Could it be, as Solaris scientists speculate, that the ocean may be a massive neural center creating these memories, for a reason no one can identify?<br/><br/>Long considered a classic, Solaris asks the question: Can we understand the universe around us without first understanding what lies within?<br/><br/>“A novel that makes you reevaluate the nature of intelligence itself.” —Anne McCaffrey

Ensayo sobre la ceguera
José Saramago • 1995
Un hombre parado ante un semáforo en rojo se queda ciego súbitamente. Es el primer caso de una «ceguera blanca» que luego se propaga de manera fulminante. Internados en cuarentena o perdidos en la ciudad, los ciegos tendrán que enfrentarse a lo más primitivo de la naturaleza humana: la voluntad de sobrevivir a toda costa.<br/><br/>Con esas premisas, José Saramago traza una imagen aterradora y conmovedora de los tiempos de crisis. También, en el cruce de la literatura y la sabiduría, nos exhorta a los lectores a cerrar los ojos y ver más allá de las evidencias. Recuperar la lucidez y rescatar el afecto son dos propuestas fundamentales de una novela que es, además, una reflexión sobre la ética del amor y la solidaridad.
The Bell Jar
Sylvia Plath · 2005
<p><i>The Bell Jar</i> chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under -- maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made <i>The Bell Jar</i> a haunting American classic.</p> <p>This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.</p>

Ubik
Philip K. Dick · 2012
Named one of Time's 100 Best Books, Ubik is a mind-bending, classic novel about the perception of reality from Philip K. Dick, the Hugo Award-winning author of The Man in the High Castle. “From the stuff of space opera, Dick spins a deeply unsettling existential horror story, a nightmare you’ll never be sure you’ve woken up from.”—Lev Grossman, Time Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business — deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in “half-life,” a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter’s face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time. As consumables deteriorate and technology gets ever more primitive, the group needs to find out what is causing the shifts and what a mysterious product called Ubik has to do with it all. “More brilliant than similar experiments conducted by Pynchon or DeLillo.”—Roberto Bolaño

A death-defying tropical adventure delivers a frightening message about dabbling with creation from the talented author of Origin.<br/><br/>On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings—the Vitros—have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw.<br/><br/>Sophie Crue is determined to get to Skin Island and find her mother, a scientist who left Sophie behind years ago. She enlists hunky charter pilot Jim Julien to take her there. But once on the island, Sophie and Jim encounter more than they bargained for, including a charming, brilliant Vitro named Nicholas and an innocent, newly awoken one named Lux.<br/><br/>In a race for their lives, Sophie and Jim are about to discover what happens when science stretches too far beyond its reach.
