Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. NUOVA EDIZIONE con testo aggiornato e ILLUSTRAZIONI in ogni capitolo! Anno 3.999 d.C. L'umanita ha conquistato le stelle, ma ha perso se stessa.Nel futuro di ReCover, il corpo umano non e piu il limite ultimo dell'esistenza. Grazie al brevetto della compagnia multiplanetaria ReCover, l'elite dei piu ricchi puo trasferire la propria coscienza in un nuovo corpo biologico, prolungando la vita e sfidando la morte stessa. Ma dietro questa promessa di immortalita si nasconde un costo morale altissimo: ogni transfer richiede il sacrificio volontario di un donatore umano, disposto a rinunciare alla propria vita in cambio di una ricompensa economica destinata ai propri eredi.La trama si apre con un misterioso incidente presso la struttura avanzata di La Regla, una delle piu prestigiose sedi operative di ReCover situata sull'isola di Cuba. Un transfer di routine si trasforma in un evento tragico, lasciando dietro di se un cadavere mutilato e una serie di domande inquietanti. E stato un errore umano? Sabotaggio? O qualcosa di molto piu oscuro?Ad indagare sull'accaduto e il direttore Howard K. Lobs, un uomo segnato da un passato tormentato, affiancato dal brillante ma arrogante CEO della compagnia, il giovane John W. Kee. Mentre le indagini si intrecciano con intrighi aziendali e segreti scomodi, emergono i veri volti dei protagonisti: persone disposte a tutto per preservare il loro potere, uomini e donne che lottano per la giustizia in un mondo in cui la morale e diventata un lusso riservato a pochi.Nel frattempo, Jesus Feninsky, il responsabile della sicurezza della struttura che nasconde un passato compromettente, ha una via di fuga pronta per qualsiasi evenienza. Ma quando incontra Janet Gandolfo, una giovane donna che diventera il cuore pulsante della ribellione contro il sistema ReCover, le sue priorita cambiano. Janet, scampata miracolosamente all'incidente, fugge dalla struttura con informazioni che potrebbero minare le fondamenta dell'intera compagnia.Il viaggio continua tra colonie terrestri e insediamenti spaziali, dipingendo un futuro straordinariamente realistico e ricco di dettagli. Le tensioni politiche tra le colonie della Luna, di Marte e di Titano si mescolano ai dilemmi morali legati alla tecnologia. Cosa significa davvero essere umani? La tecnologia puo rendere immortali, ma a che prezzo?Intrighi, etica e azione: la fantascienza come non l'hai mai vista. Come in Fahrenheit 451 di Ray Bradbury, la saga ReCover ci mette di fronte alla fragilita della conoscenza e alla potenza distruttiva di una societa che sceglie di ignorare le domande fondamentali sulla propria esistenza. Bradbury scriveva: "Non serve bruciare i libri per distruggere una cultura. Basta far si che la gente smetta di leggerli." E se oggi siamo ossessionati dal conservare un'immortale memoria digitale di noi stessi, ReCover ci invita a riflettere su quanto siamo disposti a sacrificare - la nostra umanita, la nostra etica, o forse l'intera nostra identita - pur di scappare alla nostra morte. Se ti sei mai chiesto dove possa condurre l'ambizione umana quando supera i limiti imposti dalla natura, Incidente a La Regla ti terra incollato fino all'ultima pagina. Tra echi della ribellione filosofica di Blade Runner, le tensioni politiche e sociali di Dune e i dilemmi morali che hanno reso immortali opere come Il ciclo della Fondazione di Asimov o I figli dell'uomo di P.D. James, ReCover non si limita a raccontare il futuro, ma lo mette a nudo, interrogandosi sull'essenza dell'umanita e sulle implicazioni di un progresso tecnologico spinto oltre ogni confine morale.Sei pronto a scoprire cosa sei disposto a sacrificare per sopravvivere?< Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
