Before we start with the book's summary, as always, a little bit of context to the author, Ted Sheehan.
We've already talked about him in this podcast. He's a science fiction author, but in his stories, short science fiction stories, there's a lot of debate, a lot of philosophical thinking. As you saw in episode 102, with the story, You Like What You See, that Cali pill that prevents you from discriminating against people based on their sexual attractiveness. Él siempre busca temas modernos, problemas de hoy en día, en este caso de discriminación basado en apariencia, para después extrapolarlos a un mundo futurístico con ciencia ficción. En este caso, él lo hace con esta historia, que no se llama Exhalación. Exhalación es el cuento, la colección de cuentos completos. Es el libro. Si quieres comprar este libro, busca en Amazon, en tu librería, Exhalación de Ted Sheehan.
Este cuento específico se llama La Verdad del Hecho, La Verdad del Sentimiento. Ya llegaremos allá. Pero el autor para mí me gustó mucho porque era una versión de Borges moderna, no en la misma calidad literaria, menos léxico, menos juego de palabras, pero definitivamente yo veo a Tetchian como un producto de la evolución de Borges, de esos conceptos físicos, metafísicos dentro de la literatura. Last time, in episode 102, I didn't talk much about Tae Chi-an's personal life, but he is American. His parents were born in China. His family fled to Taiwan during the communist revolution. His mother was, the passion for reading Tae Chi-an comes from his mother, who was a librarian. She is retired today, both are alive, his mother and his father.
Y como mencioné, es un excelente autor hoy en día. Es uno de los autores preferidos, de hecho, aquí en Estados Unidos por Barack Obama, el antiguo, por supuesto, presidente del país. Esta es una frase que escuché de Obama sobre Ted Sheehan. Al igual que predecesores tan variopintos como Philip Dick, Jorge Luis Borges, Ursula Le Guin, Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami, Kazuo Ishiguro, And I really agree with that phrase by Barack Obama. I feel that Techian places you in a world that is clearly non-existent, clearly fictitious, dystopian in certain moments. pero extrañamente familiar. Me recuerda un poco a Aldous Huxley, Margaret Atwood, como dijo Obama, mismo George Orwell. Ellos son más literatura distópica, por lo menos sus obras más famosas, pero logran ponerte en un mundo que no existe, que nunca has conocido, pero que se parece tanto de la percepción o como tú lo vives como ser humano, se parece mucho.
to the current world, and therefore one connects a lot with these works. So Techean for me is one of the best in that.
