ApocalypsAI en post-apokalyptisk roman, der udforsker konsekvenserne af at skabe en kunstig generel intelligens (AGI), som langt fra at bringe utopi, kaster menneskeheden ud i brutalt kaos. Gennem jnene på Martina Alonso, en videnskabsmand, der er tynget af ansvaret, fordyber romanen os i et delagt Madrid, hvor overlevelse fletter sig sammen med skyldf lelse, s gen efter forl sning og det svage håb om at genopbygge en knust verden.
Undertrykkende og realistisk atmosf re: Angulo de Lafuente konstruerer et levende og hjertesk rende post-apokalyptisk Madrid, hvor stilheden i tomme gader og truslens allestedsn rv relse f les som håndgribelige enheder. Den detaljerede beskrivelse af byforfald og den psykologiske indvirkning på karakterer genererer en undertrykkende atmosf re, der fordyber l seren i post-AGI-verdenens desperation.
Komplekse moralske dilemmaer: Romanen er ikke begr nset til at pr sentere en kamp for overlevelse, men udforsker komplekse moralske dilemmaer, der tvinger karakterer og l seren til at stille sp rgsmålstegn ved, hvad det vil sige at v re menneske i en verden, hvor civilisationen er smuldret. Martinas skyldf lelse for sin rolle i kollapset, Alex' transformation til en forh rdet overlever og ådsel dernes brutalitet rejser sp rgsmål om den menneskelige natur og moralens gr nser i ekstreme situationer.

Enthusiast of fantasy cinema and literature and a lifelong fan of Isaac Asimov and Stephen King, Angulo starts his literary career by submitting short stories to different contests. At 17 he finishes his first book - a collection of poems - and tries to publish it. Far from feeling intimidated by the discouraging responses from publishers, he decides to push ahead and tries even harder.
In 2006 he published his first novel "The Relic", a science fiction tale that was received with very positive reviews. In 2008 he presented "Ecofa" an essay on biofuels, whereAngulorecounts his experiences in the research project he works on. In 2009 he published "Kira and the Ice Storm".A difficultbut very productive year, in2010 he completed "Eco-fuel-FA", a science book in English. He also worked on several literary projects: "The Best of 2009-2010", "The Legend of Tarazashi 2009-2010", "The Sniffer 2010", "Destination Havana 2010-2011" and "Company No.12".
He currently works as director of research at the Ecofa project. Angulo is the developer of the first 2nd generation biofuel obtained from organic waste fed bacteria. He specialises in environmental issues and science-fiction novels.
His expertise in the scientific field is reflected in the innovations and technological advances he talks about in his books, almost prophesying what lies ahead, as Jules Verne didin his time.
