Si bien el libro tiene algunos pasajes intensos e interesantes, me parece que la narrativa se queda un poco floja. Parte del libro da muchos detalles, pero desemboca en un final un tanto apresurado. Claro, es necesario comprender el contexto cronológico en el cual se escribe, pero siempre la idea principal gira en torno a la tecnología y a la posibilidad de emular parte de la vida humana. No es el peor de los libros, pero tampoco el mejor.

"The Invention of Morel" by Adolfo Bioy Casares is not just a novel; it's a daring and provocative challenge to the very fabric of reality and human consciousness. Casares weaves a narrative that boldly questions the constructs of existence, love, and mortality. This is no ordinary tale—it's a labyrinthine journey that lures the reader into a world where the impossible becomes plausible, and the line between the living and the mechanical blurs. The novel's fusion of science fiction with a deep, almost obsessive love story defies conventional genres, breaking ground in a way that feels revolutionary even today. Casares doesn't just invite introspection; he demands it, pushing the reader to confront the unsettling notion that our perceptions might be as illusory as the fantastical invention at the heart of this story. It's a literary escapade that leaves you questioning the nature of existence, the longevity of love, and the price of immortality. This book doesn't just occupy your thoughts; it invades them, challenging you to consider how far you would go for a love that might never be yours. It's a bold, unapologetic masterpiece that doesn't just cross boundaries—it shatters them.
