Overview
Novela de ciencia ficción en la que se basa la película de Robert Pattinson y Bong Joon Ho, Mickey 17.
Mickey Barnes es un Prescindible, encarnado en la séptima réplica de su cuerpo, que vive (y muere) rodeado de sus colegas colonizadores en Niflheim, un planeta helado y casi inhabitable. Algunos lo consideran inmortal, otros lo ven como una monstruosidad sin alma. Durante los últimos nueve años ha realizado toda clase de tareas peligrosas y ha sido el conejillo de indias de experimentos que ponen a prueba los límites de la resistencia humana.
Ha sacrificado su humanidad por un bien mayor. En el transcurso de una misión de reconocimiento, Mickey7 cae herido y es abandonado a una muerte segura. Sin embargo, una especie autóctona de Niflheim lo rescata. Cuando regresa a la base, Mickey7 se topa con su siguiente réplica, Mickey8. Ninguno de los dos está dispuesto a saltar a la recicladora, pero si alguien descubre que existen múltiples Mickeys ambos serán sacrificados… y Mickey9 nunca verá la luz. No obstante, su prematuro hermano gemelo no es el único secreto que esconde Mickey7.
Hace un mes que no sube una copia de seguridad de sus recuerdos, por lo tanto, su clon no tiene ni idea de lo cerca que ha estado de morir ni de su encuentro con los habitantes del planeta. Mickey7 también ignora cómo murieron la mayoría de sus réplicas anteriores, y aquellas muertes que recuerda lo han dejado traumatizado y le han hecho desconfiar de la misión de la colonia. Una misión que lo lleva a cuestionar su moral y su existencia mortal… una vez… y otra.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A science fiction novel that inspired Robert Pattinson and Bong Joon Ho’s film, Mickey 17.
Mickey Barnes is an Expendable, embodied in the seventh replica of his body, living (and dying) among his fellow colonizers on Niflheim, a frozen and nearly uninhabitable planet. Some see him as immortal, others as a soulless monstrosity. For the past nine years, he has carried out all kinds of dangerous tasks and served as a test subject for experiments pushing the limits of human endurance.
He has sacrificed his humanity for the greater good. During a reconnaissance mission, Mickey7 is injured and abandoned to certain death. However, a native species of Niflheim rescues him. When he returns to base, Mickey7 encounters his next replica, Mickey8. Neither is willing to step into the recycler, but if anyone discovers there are multiple Mickeys, both will be sacrificed… and Mickey9 will never exist. Yet his premature twin is not the only secret Mickey7 hides.
It has been a month since he last uploaded a backup of his memories, meaning his clone has no idea how close he came to dying or of his encounter with the planet’s inhabitants. Mickey7 also doesn’t know how most of his previous replicas died, and the deaths he does remember have left him traumatized and distrustful of the colony’s mission. A mission that forces him to question his morality and his mortal existence… again and again.
