We have blind faith that science and technology lead us to a bright future in which human beings will find happiness and personal fulfillment. But already today there are subterranean currents that threaten that splendid future. There is a huge conspiracy afoot. Have you heard of the " Neo-Luddites" ? In this novel you realize the human society in 2064, subjected to the will of the new inquisitors, who have created a current that terrifies humanity with the worst dangers if it continues its development A biochemist, a Nobel candidate, has become the champion of the defense of science and technology. He hires a writer to write his memoirs and a special relationship develops between them.
She is a faithful representative of a generation that has lost all will to act and transcend. Life has become grey, tedious and without any affective commitment. Human beings no longer want to start a family, have children or make commitments of any kind. Sex has become an activity totally devoid of feeling. Will the transhuman scientist be able to change the writer's mood and make her find a transcendent reason to live?
The lives of both are not exempt from danger, they are discovered by the anti-science police and must flee to save themselves. The leader of the inquisitor group threatens them publicly and does not rest in her intention to destroy them. Can they overcome the threat? In the end they discover that the terrible woman is much closer than they could have imagined. Only the miracle of science would be able to reverse the situation in that irrational society and completely tired of living.

About the Author
Nacióoacute; el añntilde;o 1952 en Santiago en el seno de una familia de clase media con un padre abogado y una madre corredora de propiedades. Cursó la enseñanza primaria y secundaria en el Colegio Alemáaacute;n de Santiago. Desde muy chico fue un asiduo lector, tanto en español como en alemán.
Estudió luego, desde 1971, en la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Chile, obteniendo el año 1978 el tíiacute;tulo de arquitecto.
Se casó el año 1975 a los 22 años con María Soledad Silva, con quien permanece casado desde esa fecha, habiendo tenido 5 hijos a los que educó en colegios de habla alemana.
Con su esposa formaron el año 1979 la Empresa Constructora Ramcon Limitada, la que dirigió hasta el año 2015. Para ponerse al día con las tecnologías aprendió, primero, programación computacional, más tarde dibujo asistido por computador (autocad) y finalmente la versión más moderna de los sistemas BIM, Revit. Tambiéeacute;n hizo cursos de administración de empresas y negocio inmobiliario.
Desde los tiempos colegiales siempre tuvo habilidad para la escritura, tanto como para la redacción de ensayos. El año 2005, tardíamente, se decidió emplear su capacidad para escribir una novela, la que sería precursora de otras tantas que tiene escritas hasta esta fecha.
El año 2015 decidió cerrar su empresa y dedicarse exclusivamente a su tarea como escritor. Con tal motivo se incorporó al taller literario de Gonzalo Contreras, siendo ésta la segunda experiencia de este tipo, después de haber estado antes con Carla Guelfenbein. El año 2016 hizo en la Facultad de Letras de la Universidad Diego Portales un Diplomado en Escritura Creativa, graduándose con nota 7. Además, hizo un curso virtual de Lectura Profesional dictado por la Asociación de Escritores de España.
Habiéndose interesado en la novela histórica, el escritor ha hecho exhaustivas investigaciones en torno a la historia de Chile y ha participado en dos seminarios dictados por la Universidad San Sebastián relativos a los tiempos de la Colonia y de la Independencia.
