¿La tecnología amenaza nuestra paz?

Un apasionante thriller histórico de vertiginosa actualidad, que enfrenta pasado y presente, tradición y tecnología, por el autor de El club Dante .

Boston, 1868. El Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts se ha adjudicado la misión de utilizar la ciencia en beneficio de todos. Sin embargo, cuando los instrumentos de navegación de los buques se descontrolan inexplicablemente y, poco después, otra misteriosa catástrofe deja devastado el corazón de la ciudad, una implacable sombra se cierne sobre el MIT. ¿Se trata de un sabotaje llevado a cabo con medios científicos o es la Naturaleza que se rebela contra el intento humano de controlarla?

Armados de ingenio y de su extraordinaria formación científica, los me­jores estudiantes de la primera promoción del Instituto -Marcus Mansfield, un discreto veterano de guerra de gran talento; el irreprimible Robert Richards; Edwin Hoyt, el genio de la clase, y la recién llegada y brillante Ellen Swallow- formarán una sociedad secreta para salvar vidas inocentes e investigar la verdad.

Una nueva guerra ha comenzado: entre el pasado y el presente, la tradición y la tecnología. Los Tecnólogos retrata un mundo peligrosamente cercano al nuestro.

Reseñas:
«Matthew Pearl es la nueva estrella deslumbrante de la ficción literaria. Un autor superdotado.»
Dan Brown

«La compleja trama ideada por Pearl deja a los lectores sorprendidos e intrigados... El club Dante, La sombra de Poe y El último Dickens fueron todas ellas best sellers. Su última obra, otro thriller histórico-literario, parece destinada a formar parte de este club de élite.»
Booklist

«Brillante y erudito.»
The New York Times

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Boston, 1868. The Civil War may be over but a new war has begun, one between past and present, tradition and technology. The daring Massachusetts Institute of Technology is on a mission to harness science for the benefit of all. But when an unnatural disaster strikes the ships in Boston Harbor, and an equally inexplicable catastrophe devastates the heart of the city, an anti-science backlash casts a pall over MIT and threatens its very survival. So the best and brightest from the Institute’s first graduating class secretly join forces to save innocent lives and track down the truth. Armed with ingenuity and their unique scientific training, gifted war veteran Marcus Mansfield, blueblood Robert Richards, genius Edwin Hoyt, and brilliant freshman Ellen Swallow will match wits with a master criminal bent on the utter destruction of the city. “Pearl’s signature complex plotting, strewn with red herrings and populated with unlikely villains, leaves readers as shocked and intrigued as the Bostonians. . . . Pearl’s first three novels—The Dante Club, The Poe Shadow, and The Last Dickens—were all New York Times bestsellers. His latest, another literary-historical thriller, seems certain to join the elite club.”—Booklist
