Tears in rain

Se me hizo interesante esta novela sci-fi de Rosa Montero, que en cierta forma revive y continúa todo el universo de los “replicantes” (clones humanos genéticamente perfeccionados) tan famosos en la Historia Blade Runner que Ridley Scott llevó al cine, basándose  a su vez en un relato de Philip K. Dick…

The year is 2109, and cloned humans, also known as replicants (or “reps”) are used for various jobs in The United States of Earth. Replicants look identical to humans, except for their feline irises. Reps’ lives are short. They awake at age 25 and live for ten years, at which time disease strikes them down. Bruna Husky, a striking rep with close-cropped hair, incredible agility and strength, and tattoos to mark her status as a military replicant, discovers that other replicants have begun to attack. Bruna sets out to investigate the nature of these attacks and finds that the memories implanted in replicants’ brains have been corrupted, causing the violent outbursts. In this oppressive environment, the ideas people build around their own memories are always in question….
