Michael only takes Lyla to Earth because it is supposed to be a small mission. Now, not only the job goes pear-shaped, but technology also fails them.

Es una historia de coincidencias que termina haciendo que la vida de cuatros niños (Elvira Isabel, Micaela, Carlos Roberto y Gustavo Andrés) se vean entrelazadas a medida que crecen.

He aquí cuatro narraciones perturbadoras que arrastra al lector a los límites del desasosiego y de lo extraño. En Crímenes triviales, una primera obra que no lo parece, se escuchan los ecos de Kafka, Cortázar o Auster. Nos hallamos ante literatura del mayor nivel. Una prosa bien abastecida, un hábil manejo de la narración y de sus ritmos, la capacidad para envolvernos en una atmósfera de ansiedad y suspense- cuando no de mero terror-, y, a la vez, su hondo calado metafísico, hacen de Crímenes triviales una obra fecunda y de nada trivial en la lectura."

¿Cómo ganas una guerra si no sabes quién es el enemigo? Masa intenta contestar a esa pregunta. Porque es una novela visionaria, de máxima actualidad. El título alude por un lado a los medios de comunicación de masas, y por otro a la masificación del mundo tal y como lo conocemos, la cual alcanza proporciones grotescas en las distopías salidas de la mente de Joost Vandecasteele.

If, after a great struggle, the East were to prevail over the world, what sort of civilization would be imposed by the victors? Would it be an oriental version of the societies we know - or might the great old culture be superimposed upon what was left of Western technology? The story is set in a post-apocalyptic future where global civilization is governed by a hierarchical, religious society centered around belief in karmic-based reincarnation metaphorically viewed as moving forward or backward on a turning wheel.

Every family is a secret society. Forget the Freemasons, forget the OTO, and forget the Illuminati. This applies to some families more than others, but no family is an exception. My family is both typical and exemplary. For your paranoia trip, look no further than your own household. Think about all the secrets you keep—every deep, dark one and every shallow, vain one, and all in between. Stop assuming everyone else doesn’t have the same amount of secrets or more. They are all constantly lying about, omitting, and distorting information.

But now that he's had his accident, he is "seeing" certain events in the near future - including his own (although he doesn't know it yet).

This short story by Philip K. Dick takes us back to the Cold War era, when nuclear war was everyone's fear. A family suddenly wakes up in the future. A future too terrible for the people living in the present to accept.

Il commissario Falò, uomo integerrimo la cui intransigente, coriacea, ferrea volontà morale di natura abissale e ancestrale, una volontà illesa e duramente intatta, da nessuno demoralizzata, tantomeno infranta, fluttua morbida nella spirale avvolgente, delirante e al contempo affascinante, misterica e cabalistica della sua fervida mente alla perenne, infrangibile ricerca immarcescibile delle verità più pure, nitidamente e nudamente cristalline in modo suadente, verità grandiosamente splendenti.
