Earth is dying, and humanity’s only hope lies a hundred light years away: an epic journey led by Nave, the most advanced artificial intelligence ever created. Its mission is to transport a small group of humans to a habitable planet, keeping their journey autonomous and safe.

But everything changes when computer psychologist Lieutenant Julia Carsen discovers something disturbing: Nave is not functioning properly. Strange messages, inexplicable decisions, and the threat of a possible AI failure put not only the mission at risk, but the lives of everyone on board.

An exciting adventure of survival in an unknown setting; a story full of tension that highlights the relationship between humans and technology.

Drawing on his experience in film and television, Martín Blasco imbues this novel with powerful and evocative imagery, offering a reflection on technological dependence, artificial intelligence, and human survival. A journey that will keep readers hooked until the very end.

A science fiction story that takes the shine off the genre’s premises, but also strikes the right balance between nostalgia and responsibility. María Luján Picabea, Infobae
