What is a Latin Science Fiction? A book written by a Latin? Having Latins as main characters? Or maybe taking place in Latin locales? Whatever the case, this book covers it all. Enter THE GLITCH, a high-tech sci-fi novel set in Latin cities; Los Angeles, and Buenos Aires. It is an unusual science fiction based on near future computer technology. Set in a world where corporations have replaced governments, and justice is as quick as it is profitable. Armando Ruiz, the main character, married the boss’s daughter for job security, position and wealth, but realized that a man who marries for money earns every penny of it. Someone has put a damaging virus into the giant Folitech corporation computer system where Armando is the Senior Computer analyst. He does manage to inoculate the majority of the virus but a glitch remains, popping up occasionally. One night, while seeking relief from the stress on the job and life, Armando discovers a new type of bar with 3-D holographic projections where he can converse with people in clubs 1,000’s of kilometers away, in Los Angeles, New York, Bombay, Buenos Aires, Lima, in any language. It is in a Buenos Aires club where Armando meets Monica. She is like no other woman he’s ever met, she’s witty, intelligent, beautiful, and like him, a computer whiz. Armando becomes involved with her even over the kilometers and they share dreams and ideas, meeting on the sly. Monica continues to learn more about Armando and their talk ranges from viruses to dark personal secrets and eventually, to murder with a planned clandestine rendezvous in the land down under. This is a human story of long distance love via computer link with a glitch and a twist of its own.Voir livre
