Collection 04

Fiction

Four titles sharing one obsession: the decisions we make with incomplete information. A hacker who does not know what he has created, a woman who uncovers a betrayal, a family learning how to argue, and a country that has spent a century and a half rehearsing how to govern itself.

The argument

Where the manuals fall short

A manual explains how a decision ought to be made. Fiction shows how it is actually made: late, with fear, with divided loyalties, and with the information just on the wrong side. This collection is the deliberate reverse of the rest of the catalogue.

01

Technology with consequences

In Sibila, the question is not whether an AI can become autonomous, but what its creator does once it already is.

02

Pain as an engine

In La Rabia, an emotion our culture teaches us to suppress becomes the instrument of rebuilding.

03

Teaching without preaching

Domina tu mente uses the Socratic method: the characters discover their own biases, and the reader with them.

04

The mistakes that repeat

Últimos siglos de España organises a century and a half of history by milestones and institutional mistakes, not by sides.

The titles

Four books, four registers

Technological fiction

Sibila

Hacktivism, AI ethics and the boundary between the human and the artificial

Álex Ferrer is a project manager by day and a hacker by night. He builds Sibila, an artificial intelligence designed to detect irregularities in corporate networks, which ends up becoming an autonomous entity that evolves beyond its programming.

Together with Nora Vidal, an investigative journalist, Álex is caught in a web of conspiracies and ethical dilemmas where every decision carries a cost he had not foreseen.

La Rabia

A novel about heartbreak, betrayal and the transforming power of rage

Ana, a graphic designer, and Luis, an architect, meet by chance in a café. What begins as an immediate connection turns into a shared life project, until Clara’s arrival exposes the cracks in a relationship that looked solid.

When Ana discovers the affair, she finds something unexpected in the pain: a rage that, far from destroying her, pushes her to rebuild. Fifteen episodes on how pain turns into growth.

Domina tu mente

A novel about the art of thinking critically

Elena Ruiz, a 68-year-old retired philosopher, moves back in with her daughter Carla and her family. Everyday conflicts —family arguments, professional dilemmas, teenage peer pressure, disinformation on social media, pseudoscience at work— become opportunities for each of them to learn to question their own beliefs.

It weaves cognitive psychology —biases, fallacies, Kahneman’s work— into recognisable situations. Elena guides through questions, not sermons, and admits her own mistakes.

Historical essay

Últimos siglos de España

From the Bourbon Restoration to the parliamentary monarchy (1875–2025)

It traces Spain’s political and institutional development from the crisis of the nineteenth-century liberal system to the present day, looking at how each regime responded to the challenges of legitimacy, territorial pluralism, socio-economic modernisation and European integration.

Its method: six chronological blocks, each with a narrative summary and a table of milestones and institutional mistakes, so that continuities and ruptures can be seen at a glance.

Context

The six blocks of Últimos siglos de España

The structure of the essay, for anyone who wants to know exactly which period each part covers.

  • Bourbon Restoration · 1874/75 – 1923

    The 1876 constitution and the turno pacífico as an architecture of stability, propped up by local patronage and electoral fraud. The Disaster of 1898 and the Rif as turning points.

  • Primo de Rivera dictatorship · 1923 – 1930

    The authoritarian answer to the crisis of the liberal system and its limits: public works and modernisation set against the suspension of constitutional guarantees.

  • Second Republic · 1931 – 1936/39

    An expansion of rights and deep reforms against a backdrop of growing political and social polarisation.

  • Francoist dictatorship · 1939 – 1975

    Four decades of personal rule: autarky, technocratic opening, censorship and the absence of pluralism.

  • Transition · 1975 – 1982

    Building the rule of law, the 1978 constitution and the territorial design that still shapes the debate.

  • Democracy under a parliamentary monarchy · 1982 – 2025

    European integration, decentralisation, economic crises and the continuing test of the institutions.
