Description
In Buenos Aires, a journalist named Junior is drawn into a paranoid investigation that blurs the line between reportage and obsession. As he searches for a rumored secret machine—one said to preserve the mind and memory—he uncovers a conspiracy that turns the city itself into a shifting, half-remembered map. Blending detective suspense with science fiction speculation, the novel explores how stories are manufactured, how truth can be engineered, and how identity survives (or fails) when memory becomes a commodity. With Ricardo Piglia’s signature style—sharp, labyrinthine, and intellectually charged—this is a novel about the hidden machinery behind perception, and the unsettling cost of trying to recover what has been erased.
