Ray Nayler

La montaña en el mar de Ray Nayler es un debut literario deslumbrante y una reflexión excepcional sobre la naturaleza de la consciencia y sobre los claroscuros de sus consecuencias. ¿Y si una nueva especie de pulpos hiperinteligentes tuviera la clave para el futuro de la humanidad? Empiezan a difundirse rumores sobre una especie de pulpos peligrosa y extraordinariamente inteligente que podria haber desarrollado un lenguaje y una cultura propios. Ha Nguyen, una biologa marina que ha dedicado la vida a investigar el cerebro de los cefalopodos, hara lo posible para estudiarlos. DIANIMA, una empresa tecnologica internacional, se ha aislado en el remoto archipielago de Con Dao, en Vietnam, donde los pulpos han sido avistados. La doctora Nguyen viaja a las islas para unirse al equipo de investigacion formado por una agente de seguridad llena de cicatrices de guerra y el primer androide de la historia. Los pulpos son la clave para realizar descubrimientos sin precedentes sobre la inteligencia animal. Pero hay mucho en juego: quien consiga aprovecharse de dichos hallazgos lograra una gran fortuna. Asi pues, mientras la doctora Nguyen intenta comunicarse con la especie recien descubierta, entra en escena una faccion mas importante que DIANIMA para apoderarse de los pulpos. Sin embargo, nadie les ha preguntado a estas criaturas marinas que opinan. Ni que piensan hacer al respecto.Criticas:Un analisis preciso y formidable de la consciencia humana.Publishers Weekly Un libro asombroso. Tiene la apariencia de un thriller, las entrañas de un seminario de filosofia y el alma de un tratado religioso.New Scientist
