Alma
Considered the first literary example of cyberromanticism (that is, of an aesthetic that combines the passion of romanticism and its attraction to the abyss in a post-technological society), Alma tells the story of obsessive love between Alma and Atom, a woman and a man doomed to solitude, who look with contempt upon a mass humanity, and seek danger as the only sign of life when only death is expected.
Alma is a novel of desperation and self-destruction set in a post-apocalyptic Valencia where the capital and a coastal town end up becoming characters in the work themselves.
I completed a first draft of Alma in 1994 in Friuli, and in 1996 I undertook a process of rewriting and linguistic experimentation in Patraix; subsequently, I also subjected it to further revisions until this definitive version in its original language, Valencian.
