Runtimes

Runtimes is a visionary, bilingual English-Spanish literary experiment that blends speculative fiction, poetic prose, and philosophical inquiry to examine our rapidly unraveling world. Colombian-American author Lorenzo Bécquer guides readers through interconnected realities-from lunar outposts to mythic dimensions-while grappling with themes of ancestral memory, surveillance, and spiritual transformation. Along the way, moments of tenderness and reflection on fatherhood offer emotional grounding within the book’s expansive, multidimensional landscape. With multimedia world-building and fluid storytelling across languages and timelines, Runtimes invites readers into a bold and immersive journey through the collapse of the present and the emergence of new forms of consciousness.
