The Best masterfully transports readers to a dystopian future where humanity struggles for survival. Angulo's vivid world-building and complex characters draw you in from the first page. This post-apocalyptic tale explores thought-provoking philosophical questions about the meaning of life while keeping you on the edge of your seat with intense action sequences. Expertly plotted with unexpected twists, The Best proves Angulo's talent for crafting an unforgettable story that will stay with you long after turning the final page.
This science fiction work tries on one hand to make readers aware of the fragility of our species, delving into some possible environmental catastrophes that may happen due to the emission of polluting gases we are producing, the cause of climate change. In adverse climatic conditions our civilization as we know it can come crashing down.
This is the story of a group of special forces soldiers, who stand out for being the best in their field. Through them we will see how the world will have changed in the near future and how only the strongest manage to survive.
With this novel I would like to attract the attention of younger audiences, with the intention that they enjoy reading it while at the same time raising some questions in them. For me, science fiction basically consists of presenting theories that raise doubts about their possibility and thereby compel the reader to investigate further.
I'm sure we wouldn't have made it to the moon if it weren't for books like From the Earth to the Moon. Not because the technology prevents us, nor because of a lack of capability, simply because: why go to the moon? It is possible that literature gives us that need to go further, to see and visit those worlds that books tell us about.
I have worked for many years on renewable energy projects and have come to the following conclusions: we are not lacking solutions, what is missing is the interest and desire to carry them out. It is viable to change our energy model; it is possible to live better, with a higher quality of life while respecting our environment at the same time. We simply don't want to make that change; we probably are afraid to take that step or possibly it's just laziness. With my novels I only intend to make us think about it.
