The crowning literary achievement of Cuban sci-fi's patron saint, and a vituperative examination of the Castro regime that combines cryogenic freezing, artificial intelligence, and surveillance with evil wizards, time travel, and killer robots in a gripping adventure story. A cult classic and Cuban sci-fi father Agustin de Rojas's most popular work, The Year 200 critiques the Castro regime by holding it against its own impossible standards. An imaginative and bold social extrapolation and nuanced political parable.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Agustin de Rojas, Restless Books. "Finally, we have the chance to read a landmark work from one of Cuba's greatest science fiction writers. If you like intensely psychological sci-fi that deftly piles on the suspense, this novel's for you. The boundaries between dream and reality, and then between human and machine, almost melt away as the story progresses. And it is de Rojas's skillful manipulation of those boundaries that makes A Legend of the Future so addictive." -SF SignalThe first book by the father of Cuban science fiction to be translated into English, this mesmerizing novel, reminiscent of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, is a science-fiction survival story that captures the intense pressures-economic, ideological, and psychological-inside Communist Cuba.A Legend of the Future takes place inside a spaceship on a groundbreaking mission to Titan, one of Saturn's moons; back home, a final conflict between warring superpowers threatens the fate of the Earth. When disaster strikes the ship, the crewmembers are forced into a grand experiment in psychological and emotional conditioning, in which they face not just their innermost fears, but the ultimate sacrifice-their very humanity.Agustn de Rojas (19492011) is the patron saint of Cuban science fiction. A professor of the history of theater at the Escuela de Instructores de Arte in Villa Clara, he authored a canonical trilogy of novels consisting of Espiral (Spiral, 1982), for which he was awarded the David Prize; Una leyenda del future (A Legend of the Future, 1985); and El ao 200 (The Year 200, 1990), all of which are scheduled for publication in English translation by Restless Books. While he was heavily influenced by Ray Bradbury and translated Isaac Asimov into Spanish, de Rojas aligned himself mostly with Soviet writers such as Ivan Yefremov and the brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. After the fall of the Soviet Union, de Rojas stopped writing science fiction. He spent his final years persuaded-and persuading others-that Fidel Castro did not exist.Nick Caistor is a British journalist, nonfiction author, and translator of Spanish and Portuguese literature. He has translated Cesar Aira, Paulo Coelho, Eduardo Mendoza, Juan Mars, and Manuel Vzquez Montalban, and he has twice won the ValleIncln Prize for translation. He regularly contributes to Radio 4, the BBC World Service, the Times Literary Supplement, and the Guardian. He lives in Norwich, England. Paperback.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Agustin de Rojas, Restless Books. "There could scarcely be a more opportune moment for the appearance in English of the late Cuban science fiction master Agustn de Rojas's epic novel The Year 200. De Rojas's lucid fictional world intersects with many of our contemporary technological obsessions but charges them with remarkably distinct political valences. A riveting narrative of espionage and geopolitical turmoil." -Los Angeles Review of Books Centuries have passed since the Communist Federation defeated the capitalist Empire, but humanity is still divided. A vast artificial-intelligence network, a psychiatric bureaucracy, and a tiny egalitarian council oversee civil affairs and quash "abnormal" attitudes such as romantic love. Disillusioned civilians renounce the new society and either forego technology to live as "primitives" or enhance their brains with cybernetic implants to become "cybos." When the Empire returns and takes over the minds of unsuspecting citizens in a scenario that terrifyingly recalls Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the world's fate falls into the hands of two brave women.Drawing as much from the realms of the adventure novel, spy thriller, and political satire as from hard science fiction, horror, and fantasy, The Year 200 has been proven prophetic in its consideration of cryogenic freezing, artificial intelligence, and state surveillance, while its advanced weapons and robot assassins exist in an all-too-imaginable future. Originally published in 1990, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall and before the onset of Cuba's devastating Special Period, Agustn de Rojas's magnum opus brings contemporary trajectories to their logical extremes and boldly asks, "What does 'the greatest good for the greatest number' really mean?"Agustn de Rojas (1949-2011) is the patron saint of Cuban science fiction. A professor of the history of theater at the Escuela de Instructores de Arte in Villa Clara, he authored a canonical trilogy of novels consisting of Espiral (Spiral, 1982), for which he was awarded the David Prize; Una leyenda del futuro (A Legend of the Future, 1985); and El ao 200 (The Year 200, 1990), all of which are scheduled for publication in English translation by Restless Books.
