Summary

«LA GENTE SEGUÍA RECIBIENDO HERIDAS DE BALA Y MURIENDO, COMO SIEMPRE, AUNQUE NO SIEMPRE POR ESE ORDEN».

En un mundo que cambia a la velocidad de un juego de realidad virtual, un simple policía de a pie debe lidiar con todas las formas de violencia imaginables que produce una sociedad entregada a los excesos más variados: robots de reparto que se enfrentan a peatones, proveedores de drogas y drones ejecutores de presuntos terroristas.

¿Hay espacio para las emociones humanas en un universo tan tóxico… que se parece demasiado al nuestro?

Un policía capaz de empatizar con estas circunstancias ¿no se convertirá en un peligro para el funcionamiento del sistema? A medio camino entre el relato de género y la distopía urbana, Street Cop sitúa la condición humana en el centro de una investigación policial insólita.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Is there room for human emotions in this toxic universe… that looks too much like ours?

Robert Coover’s detective novelette, STREET COP, is set in a dystopian world of infectious “living dead,” murderous robo-cops, aging street walkers, and walking streets. With drawings by Art Spiegelman, this short tale scrutinizes the arc of the American myth, exploring the working of memory in a digital world, police violence and the future of urban life.

STREET COP is provocative and prophetic, asking us to interrogate the line between a condemnable system and a sympathetic individual.
