«QualityLand» is the science fiction and satire novel by Marc-Uwe Kling, published by Tusquets Editores in the Andanzas collection in hardback (464 pages, in Spanish).
In the not-too-distant future, everything in QualityLand is optimised by algorithms: work, leisure, shopping and even the choice of a partner. Peter Sinempleo, one of the few citizens who dares to disagree with the system that constantly evaluates his life, senses that something is off in this seemingly perfect society: there are drones afraid of flying and robots with post-traumatic stress, while people behave like automatons. An ironic dystopia about technological control and surveillance.
First instalment of the «QualityLand» series, which continues in «QualityLand 2.0». Translation by Carles Andreu Saburit. Winner of the Deutscher Science-Fiction-Preis.
Recommended for readers of satire and science fiction with humour, especially those who enjoy technological dystopias and ironic social critiques.
Marc-Uwe Kling is a German songwriter, author, and Kabarett artist. He studied philosophy and drama at Freie Universität Berlin.
