No importa precisar de quien es ese gran aforismo, lo que si es importante es saber como a lo largo de la historia de una androide con un corto tiempo de vida descubre que tanto la vida de los humanos como la de ella puede ser igual de falsa o de rica, y que todo esta en ella misma;ésto es esencial. Tal vez sea una historia hecha de otros elementos de otras historias, pero al final del día ¿Cuál historia moderna no lo es?

If any of you are Blade Runner fans, and are desperate for poorly written Blade Runner fanfic, look up Tears In Rain.
Or... don't. Because it really is terrible fanfic. It ticks pretty much every single terrible fanfic box.
Uncomfortable, kind-of-out-of-the-blue sex with someone/something weird: check.
Author using the protagonist as their own personal dress-up doll: check (because it really matters that as the protagonist is checking out a lead, she has carefully gotten dressed in a leopard print skirt. Hint: no).
Incredibly heavy-handed exposition badly disguised as an unnecessary plot point: check.
Painful call-outs to the source material being fan-fic-ed: check.
Terrible "surprise" ending that resolves everything, lets the whole world know who the bad guys are, and totally clears the good guys' name(s) and lets them get back to their lives: Check.
If the problem had just been awkward prose, I might have been willing to blame translation or something, but the plot was just... not good.

Un tema que recorre todo el libro es la fugacidad de la vida, la permanente presencia de la muerte y cómo afrontar esta condición. No obstante, la obra hace que no pienses mucho en estos dilemas pues desde la primera página empieza la acción y nos traslada rápidamente a un escenario futurista. El entramado medio policial o de film noir le da algo de gusto y los capítulos que empiezan con páginas tipo wikipedia son útiles para entender un poco el escenario del siglo XXII (qué placer leer wikipedia en papel!) y demuestran que la tía se mueve como pez en el agua en todo lo relacionado con el mundo virtual.

As a non-fan of scifi i enjoyed reading this story. Really liked the strong female main character with her all too common earthly flaws.

I really enjoyed this book. I appreciate that it's inspired by Blade Runner but unlike other reviewers I feel the author successfully put a unique mark on the starting material. I really loved seeing the future outside the usual US centered view.

This was an okay book. A sci-fi, mystery, conspiracy thriller combo. Somehow it feels like or could have been better. In not sure what else to day right now.
