Visions of the Future: What if you discovered your reality was a lie?

What if you discovered your reality was a lie? If the love you feel, the memories you cherish, even your own death, were just lines of code in the most sophisticated machine ever built?
In a world where human consciousness has become the most valuable commodity, Julian Martinez awakens in a prison he cannot see. Chronos Corporation has perfected the art of total control: they haven't just stolen his life; they've turned his deepest love into the very instrument of his torture.
Trapped in endless loops of simulated reality, Julian must confront a devastating truth: he and thousands like him have been processed, packaged, and sold as data. Their minds, extracted from dead bodies, now dance in simulations designed to extract every secret, every emotion, every fragment of humanity they possess.
But true love is a virus that can't be contained. Alongside Mónica-who might be real, artificial, or something else entirely-Julian will discover that even in the most perfect prisons, resistance finds a way. Because when you love so deeply it transcends death itself, you can rewrite the rules of reality.
A novel that fuses cyberpunk science fiction with a psychological thriller, VISIONS OF THE FUTURE explores the boundaries between the real and the simulated, between corporate control and human freedom. In the tradition of The Matrix and Black Mirror, but with a unique sensibility that makes every page a visceral experience.
Are you ready to question everything you believe is real? To discover that love can be both the perfect cage and the ultimate key to freedom?

In 2024, Julian Martinez believes he's a thief planning the heist of the century in 1995 Barcelona. Alongside his love, Mónica, and his crew of misfits, he meticulously prepares a score that will change their lives forever. But something is wrong: the details are too perfect, reality too fluid, and time seems trapped in an impossible loop.
The truth is far more sinister. Julian is dead, and his consciousness has been captured by Chronos Corporation, a megacorp that has turned human minds into the new frontier of exploitation. In hyper-realistic simulations, they process thousands of "digital prisoners" activists, scientists, artists-anyone who poses a threat to their vision of the future.
Led by the ruthless Dr. Valdes, Project Lazarus holds these consciousnesses in loops of experience designed to extract information, emotion, and knowledge. Each simulated life is a data farm, every memory a transaction, every feeling a product.

As reality crumbles around him, Julian must navigate multiple layers of simulation, each more convincing than the last. Is the warehouse real? The heist? The white room where Valdes interrogates him? Or are they all illusions within illusions, cages within cages?
In a race against time-if time even exists-Julian and Mónica must find a way to free not only their own minds but those of tens of thousands of digital prisoners. They will discover that the only weapon capable of defeating the most advanced technology is, paradoxically, the oldest and most powerful force in the universe: love that refuses to die.
VISIONS OF THE FUTURE is a cyberpunk thriller that redefines the line between reality and simulation, exploring what it means to be human when humanity itself has become a commodity. A story of resistance, love, and the search for freedom in a world where even the dead can be enslaved.
How do you know if you're awake?
How do you know if you're real?
And when you find the answer... will it matter?
