Sunce je zalazilo nad Madridom, obojivsi nebo intenzivnom narančastom bojom koja se odrazavala na prozorima nebodera, kao da cijeli grad gori. U malom, pretrpanom stanu u srcu Lavapiésa, Daniel Sánchez sjedio je ispred spleta kablova i titrajucih ekrana, krvavih očiju uprtih u beskrajne retke koda. Stalno zujanje računalnih ventilatora bilo je poput iskrivljene uspavanke, jedinog zvuka u prostoru koji je mirisao na ustajalu kavu i uvele snove. Daniel, sa svojom razbarusenom crnom kosom i visednevnom čekinjom, vise je sličio brodolomniku nego briljantnom programeru kakav je nekoc bio. "Mora postojati način", promrmljao je sebi u bradu, a prsti su mu letjeli preko tipkovnice s mahnitom hitnoscu. "Izlaz iz ove rupe." Pogled mu je na trenutak odlutao do hrpe neotvorenih pisama u kutu njegova stola. Računi, obavijesti o delozaciji, prijetnje vjerovnika. Svaka mu je omotnica bila zarki podsjetnik na to kako je dosao do ove točke. Daniel je zatvorio oči, dopustajuci si trenutak slabosti. Prisjetio se uzbuđenja, adrenalina onih ne tako davnih dana kada se svijet kriptovaluta činio kao obecana zemlja. Ulozio je sve: svoju usteđevinu, kredite, čak i novac posuđen od prijatelja i obitelji. A onda je, u tren oka, sve nestalo.
Francisco Angulo
Madrid, 1976
Enthusiast of fantasy cinema and literature and a lifelong fan of Isaac Asimov and Stephen King, Angulo starts his literary career by submitting short stories to different contests. At 17 he finishes his first book - a collection of poems - and tries to publish it. Far from feeling intimidated by the discouraging responses from publishers, he decides to push ahead and tries even harder.
In 2006 he published his first novel "The Relic", a science fiction tale that was received with very positive reviews. In 2008 he presented "Ecofa" an essay on biofuels, whereAngulorecounts his experiences in the research project he works on. In 2009 he published "Kira and the Ice Storm".A difficultbut very productive year, in2010 he completed "Eco-fuel-FA", a science book in English. He also worked on several literary projects: "The Best of 2009-2010", "The Legend of Tarazashi 2009-2010", "The Sniffer 2010", "Destination Havana 2010-2011" and "Company No.12".
He currently works as director of research at the Ecofa project. Angulo is the developer of the first 2nd generation biofuel obtained from organic waste fed bacteria. He specialises in environmental issues and science-fiction novels.
His expertise in the scientific field is reflected in the innovations and technological advances he talks about in his books, almost prophesying what lies ahead, as Jules Verne didin his time.
