ESE NO SOY YO
Rafael Salmerón vive en Madrid, tiene 32 años y se gana cómodamente la vida como community manager, cultivando la buena imagen de sus variados clientes. Está convencido de que conoce como pocos los entresijos de las redes sociales, hasta el día en que descubre que un doble suyo se ha dedicado durante años a insultar a medio mundo en Twitter. La sorpresa lo lleva ante los tribunales por presuntos delitos de odio e injurias a la Corona, y apremiado por la instrucción del caso, se sume en una frenética búsqueda por averiguar qué misterioso malhechor se esconde tras el robo de su identidad. El proceso pondrá a prueba la relación con su novia Vanesa, y en sus esfuerzos intervendrán sus amigos y también otros curiosos personajes, como un empresario de dudosa reputación, un refugiado sirio y hasta un monstruo que se le aparece en sueños y le dará alguna que otra pista. Pesquisas aparte, poco a poco emerge una pregunta más sustancial: ¿será que todo este asunto revela algo más profundo y oscuro de sí mismo? Con una prosa eficaz y directa, Álvaro Villalobos construye en estas páginas una inquietante reflexión sobre la identidad en la era de las redes sociales, y sobre cómo estas pueden llegar a deformar el relato que cada cual les ofrece de su propia vida.

THE INLOOKER
This is a ‘black humour’ science fiction story set in the near future, where a man finds that he has a very special talent. It is to take over other people’s souls and thus possess their bodies as if they were his own. As he becomes increasingly aware of his abilities, he first uses them to mete out justice to mentally warped criminals, and then to undertake sexual adventures. Growing tired of what are, in the scheme of things, trivial pursuits, he embarks on a life of crime intent on accumulating serious amounts of money. Whilst fleecing the wealthy, he comes across an alien hiding amongst us, and is impressed by the seamless transport system on its own planet, so he decides to emulate it on Planet Earth. With a colleague recruited from The Lockheed Skunk Works in America, he develops a vehicle based on UFO technology, and uses it as a stepping stone to power. His motivation soon goes beyond his revolutionary and hugely successful transport system, and extends to a serious attempt at population reduction. For this he requires even more prominence on the world stage, as he battles aliens to prevent annihilation of the expanding human race. This book charts his progress, as he strives to achieve the impossible. It also monitors the impact on his family life, where he eventually has to decide whether to opt for mortality or immortality. If all you want to read about is sexual adventures, and cannot be bothered with the future of mankind, this book is not for you. It is intended for those who like to ponder the value of life as we lead it, and what it could be like if we chose to take up the challenge.

Al final, lo expuesto por Problemas resulta ser una farsa y habrá que esperar a que alguien invente ese equipo para realizar los pronósticos del tiempo. Por muchas razones, la lectura de esta sorprendente e ingeniosa obra le dejará flotando. Prepárese.
