Sombras, Datos y Relámpagos
This book was written in my native language, preserving the tone, rhythm, and emotional texture that shaped its original voice.
This is my first book, a hybrid work that moves between fiction, essay, and poetry, all woven around a single question: What is power, and how does it inhabit our lives?
The book is structured in three movements:
- Sombras (Shadows) — A series of stories where power takes the shape of memory, illusion, violence, destiny, machines, or silence. From a burning piano in a Havana garage, to a door that can only be crossed with a lost ring, to the haunting logic of a circus that becomes government.
- Datos (Data) — Philosophical and historical essays on the invisible infrastructures of domination: political habits, technological systems, the architecture of obedience, the forces of nature, the seduction of simulations, and the mythologies that hold societies together or pull them apart.
- Relámpagos (Lightning) — Poems written as flashes: brief, sharp, visceral. They are the emotional pulse of the book, wounds that speak, memories that ignite, and intuitions that appear like sudden storms.
This book was written during a period of profound transition, between countries, between lives, between identities, blending childhood memories, exile, music, philosophy, science, and the shadows of political systems.
It is not a linear book. It is a score: a composition made of darkness, analysis, and illumination.
Its intention is not to offer answers, but to create resonance.
