Publicada por primera vez en 1991 e inspirada en la guerradel Golfo Pérsico, esta novela plantea una pregunta urgente: ¿qué pasaría si existiera una alternativa real al petróleo? Augusto, un científico brillantepero incómodo para muchos, tiene una respuesta: el prototipo, un sistema revolucionario que no recurre ni a la energía solar ni a la nuclear, sino que extrae fuerza y calor directamente de la estructura íntima del espacio-tiempo, es decir, de la lattice.
Pero lo que parece un avance tecnológico colosal pronto revela su secreto más inquietante: el verdadero prototipo no es una máquina o un invento, sino el fruto de una transformación radical de la conciencia humana.
Con un estilo envolvente y cargado de intriga, Grinberg nos entrega un thriller científico y filosófico que explora los límites de la ciencia y el poder, al tiempo que cuestiona el futuro energético del planeta, el rumbo de la humanidad y la posibilidad de un nuevo orden nacido no de la ambición, sino de la evolución interior del ser humano.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“THE ENTIRE GLOBAL ECONOMY WAS BASED ON THE USE OF CRUDE. ATTEMPTS TO HARVEST SOLAR ENERGY WERE STILL VERY PRIMITIVE, AND NUCLEAR POWER POSED ENORMOUS DANGERS. THE SUCCESS OF A SYSTEM FOR DIRECT UTILIZATION OF THE LATTICE WAS NOT GOING TO PLEASE THE OIL COMPANIES AT ALL.” —J.G.Z.
First published in 1991 and inspired by the war in the Persian Gulf, this novel poses an urgent question: what would happen if there were a real alternative to oil? Augusto, a brilliant scientist but one who makes many people uncomfortable, has an answer: the prototype, a revolutionary system that relies on neither solar nor nuclear energy, but instead draws power and heat directly from the intimate structure of space-time, that is, from the lattice.
But what appears to be a colossal technological breakthrough soon reveals its most unsettling secret: the true prototype is not a machine or an invention, but the result of a radical transformation of human consciousness.
With an immersive style brimming with intrigue, Grinberg delivers a scientific and philosophical thriller that explores the limits of science and power, while questioning the planet’s energy future, the course of humanity, and the possibility of a new order born not of ambition, but of the inner evolution of the human being.
