Silicone 5.0

One day, recovering from a heart attack in his Daytona Beach apartment, Facundo Walsh Ocampo discovers that his identity has been stolen and decides to cross the border into Mexico to meet his replacement. In the search for the forger, he will discover a larger forgery, his own. The ruthless competition for economic success has turned the protagonist into a highly effective robot, without memory and without its own identity. In the same way, the robots equipped with artificial intelligence that he himself sells in Asia replace not only sex but also the love and understanding of their owner in a world corrupted by the consumption fever and the destruction of the adversary. With Silicona 5.0 the author of Crisis returns with a counterpoint between the collective present and individual memory, between identity and its substitutes, between the excitement of consumption and the loss of the human factor, between the death of the present and the rebirth of the past as form of ransom and redemption.
