About the Book

Una nueva novela de la prestigiosa autora argentina Samanta Schweblin que desvela el lado más inquietante de las nuevas tecnologías.

Casi siempre comienza en los hogares. Ya se registran miles de casos en Vancouver, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Oaxaca... y se está propagando rápidamente a todos los rincones del mundo. No son mascotas, ni fantasmas, ni robots. Son ciudadanos reales, y el problema -se dice en las noticias y se comparte en las redes- es que una persona que vive en Berlín no debería poder pasearse libremente por el living de alguien que vive en Sídney, ni una persona que vive en Bangkok desayunar junto a tus hijos en tu departamento de Buenos Aires. En especial cuando esas personas que dejamos entrar a casa son completamente anónimas.


Los personajes de esta novela encarnan el costado más real -y a la vez imprevisible- de la compleja relación que tenemos con la tecnología, renovando la noción del vouyerismo y exponiendo al lector a los límites del prejuicio, el cuidado de los otros, la intimidad, el deseo y las buenas intenciones. Kentukis es una novela deslumbrante que potencia su sentido mucho más allá de la atracción que genera desde sus páginas. Una idea insólita y oscura, tan sensata en sus reflejos que, una vez que se entra en ella, ya no se puede salir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A new novel by prestigious Argentine author Samanta Schweblin that reveals the most disturbing side of new technologies.

It almost always starts in homes. Thousands of cases have already been registered in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Oaxaca ... and it is rapidly spreading to all corners of the world. They are not pets, or ghosts, or robots, they are real citizens. The problem is - it's been reported in the news and shared all over social media - that a person living in Berlin should not be able to roam around freely in the living room of someone living in Sydney, nor a person living in Bangkok be able to have breakfast with your children in your apartment in Buenos Aires. Especially when those people we let into our homes are complete strangers.

The characters in this novel embody the most real, and unpredictable side of the complex relationship we have with technology, renewing the notion of voyeurism and exposing the reader to the edge of prejudice, intimacy, desire, and good intentions. Kentukis poses an unusual and dark idea, so sensible in its reflections that, once you enter it, you cannot leave.
