Europe
Original title: Europa
Could the sensation that our reality is on the verge of breaking point somehow become a source of comfort?
The seven stories in Europa explore contemporary forms of unease: the private apocalypse of everyday life and the looming collective one haunting the horizon. Dystopian scenarios where the virtual and the physical vie for dominance, overwhelmed parents, young people tackling personal crises, and scientists confronting the collapse of civilisation. With rare warmth and stylistic precision, Luis López Carrasco offers a deeply humane vision of adisoriented present and a haunting near future. A luminous collection that asks how we can still dream when the future feels so forbidding. For readers of J. G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick, drawn to speculative fiction.
