Lyric Poetry

En "Teitán el Soberbio", publicado por primera vez en 1895, Nilo María Fabra se adelanta en más de 50 años a la distopía totalitaria del "1984" de George Orwell, y nos presenta una humanidad dominada por el miedo, en la que un tirano, Teitán el Soberbio, reina sobre todo el planeta apoyado en la tecnología al servicio de la detección y la represión de cualquier disidencia. Cualquier expresión de desacuerdo, rebeldía, crítica o desafección es inmediatamente detectada y castigada. Es tal el control que se pretende ejercer sobre la población que el cuento plantea la posibilidad de cruzar la última frontera a fin de controlar no solo lo que dicen las personas en la intimidad, sino también lo que piensan. Situada en el Siglo 100, el breve relato de Nilo María Fabra, una joya de la ciencia ficción política y de anticipación del Siglo XIX, nos alerta sobre el lado oscuro del progreso tecnológico y sobre el impacto que éste puede tener sobre nuestra libertad y la sociedad en su conjunto.

In "Teitan the Superb", first published in 1895, Nilo Maria Fabra anticipates by more than 50 years the totalitarian dystopia of George Orwell's "1984", and presents us with a humanity dominated by fear, in which a tyrant, Teitan the Superb, reigns over the entire planet supported by technology at the service of detection and repression of any dissidence, immediately detected and punished. Such is the control that is intended to be exercised over the population that the story raises the possibility of crossing the final frontier in order to control not only what people say in privacy, but also what they think. Set in the 100th century, Nilo María Fabra's short story, a jewel of 19th century political and anticipation science fiction, alerts us to the dark side of technological progress and the impact it can have on our freedom and society as a whole.
