Um þessa rafbók

The era of sentient machines and innovation to extend life is near, or perhaps, that world is already here. In this collection of stories, author Baltar Xinzo explores different venues for this future, its dangers, and unexpected consequences in the best tradition of scientific fiction but keeping a keen eye on his very human characters. A sentient robot used in construction has an epiphany about his former life as a human. Two men histories entwine in a circular dialogue of brutality and dead that keeps rewriting itself. A man awakens in a synthetic world divided by a white wall. A father and his son went to the job interview, where they would face a deal that would entangle their lives unexpectedly. All these are pieces of a puzzle describing a future that might start taking shape in your mind while you read this remarkable compilation.

Um höfundinn

Baltar Xinzo is the pen name of a writer and engineer who has embraced the freedom of writing fiction to jog the emotional intelligence of his readers. Xinzo speculative fiction is characterized by a dark tone, often qualified as sci-fi noir, but, unlike other exponents of this style, his stories are permeated by a sense of hope and human sensibility. In his fiction writings, he explores existentialist issues in the backdrop of genres such as cyberpunk, hard science fiction, trans-humanism, and trans-realism.

You may have realized that Baltar Xinzo is the pen name of a real human being, not a mere AI. He lives in Ottawa, Canada, with his wife and two lovely cats that make him company during his creative sessions. When not writing fiction, he is a research scientist, among other things.
