Robert J. Sawyer

    29 de abril de 1960

    Robert J. Sawyer es uno de los autores de ciencia ficción más conocidos y exitosos de Canadá, elogiado por su habilidad para fusionar lo íntimamente humano con lo grandiosamente cósmico. Su prosa concisa, a menudo comparada con la de Isaac Asimov, explora profundas cuestiones filosóficas a través de narrativas inventivas. Sawyer utiliza el género para adentrarse en las ramificaciones éticas, sociales y legales de la tecnología avanzada y las realidades alternativas. Él mismo prefiere la etiqueta de "ficción filosófica", centrándose en ideas profundas en lugar de predecir el futuro.

      Durante un par de minutos la conciencia de toda la raza humana se desvanece y es proyectada hacia el futuro. Así empieza la novela en la que se ha basado Flashforward, la serie de televisión del momento en todo el mundo. Mientras la humanidad debe restañar los catastróficos efectos inmediatos, las implicaciones más serias tardan algo más en aparecer. Aquellos que no recibieron visiones del porvenir tratan de descubrir cuál es la causa . Otros buscan ya (o tratan de evitar conocer) a sus futuros amantes, o investigan su propio asesinato... A medida que las verdaderas consecuencias de lo sucedido comienzan a hacerse claras, todos quieren un destello del futuro, una oportunidad para saltar y ser testigo de su éxito... O para aprender a evitar sus errores.

    • Fossil Hunter is hard SF in the tradition of Larry Niven about a world inhabited by the Quintaglios, a dinosaurian species that has evolved a human level of intelligence and culture. Toroca, a Quintaglio geologist, is under attack for his controversial new theory of evolution. But the origins of his people turn out to be more complex than even he imagined, for he soon discovers the wreckage of an ancient starship -- a relic of the aliens who transplanted Earth's dinosaurs to this solar system. Now, Toroca must convince Emperor Dybo that evolution is true; otherwise, the territorial violence the Quintaglios inherited from their tyrannosaur ancestors will destroy the last survivors of Earth's prehistoric past.

    • In Far-Seer and Fossil Hunter, we met the Quintaglios, a race of intelligent dinosaurs from Earth and learned of the threat to their very existence. Now they must quickly advance from a culture equivalent to our Renaissance to the point where they can leave their planet. While the Quintaglios rush to develop space travel, the discovery of a second species of intelligent dinosaur rocks their most fundamental beliefs. Meanwhile, blind Afsan -- the dinosaurian Galileo -- undergoes the newfangled treatment of psychoanalysis, throwing everything he thought he knew about his violent people into a startling new light. At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
