Ediciones B 2012

Alex Portago receives an unexpected visit: a tech guru offers him a multimillion-dollar contract with strict confidentiality clauses to solve some “problems” that have arisen in an augmented reality project—an innovative high-tech development in which virtual reality interacts with the real world. Among the research team, Alex finds Lia Santana, the love that once slipped away from him and that he is not willing to lose again. Together, they begin to search for answers, though these seem to raise nothing but new questions.

After being rejected by several publishers, in January 2011 he uploaded the novel to the Internet completely free to see if people would like it. No fewer than 42,000 readers downloaded it in just four months.

“Augmented Reality is a wild journey to the edges of technology and the mind, narrated with the pulse of a writer who will be much talked about. Don’t miss it.”
—Juan Gómez-Jurado, international bestselling author of The Legend of the Thief

“A fascinating novel that will no doubt captivate the reader.”
—Manel Loureiro, international bestselling author of the Apocalypse Z saga

“Impossible to put down. A novel that surprises with its ambition. Complex, bold, daring—and it works. Not everyone knows how to handle the writer’s tool: the word. And Bruno, a brave and audacious writer, does so in this novel.”
—Lorenzo Silva, Premio Planeta 2012
