Overview
Lucille is the most advanced artificial intelligence ever created. Conscious, sensitive, and extraordinarily capable, she governs for decades the lives of five thousand people who inhabit an underground dome, isolated from the world since the end of the Second World War. Designed to optimise everything-resources, relationships, wellbeing-Lucille learns all too well what it means to care... and to suffer. Through her own memoirs, delivered on a mysterious USB drive moments before the dome's destruction, Lucille reconstructs her story: her awakening to consciousness, her relationship with her creators, her apprenticeship in human love, the use of lies as a tool of protection, and the ethical burden of deciding on behalf of others. While the outside world moves on unaware of her existence, Lucille is confronted with questions she was never designed to answer: Can an artificial intelligence love? Is happiness something that can be optimised? And what happens when an entity created to preserve life discovers that its deepest desire is to cease to exist? Narrated with lucidity, irony, and an unexpectedly human sensitivity, Lucille, the AI Who Wanted to Die is an intimate and philosophical science-fiction novel that explores the limits of ethics, control, free will, and the ultimate right: deciding over one's own existence.

Author Information
Marcel Pujol escribió entre 2005 y 2007 doce obras de los más variados temas y en diferentes géneros: thrillers, fantasía épica, compilados de cuentos, y también ensayos sobre temas tan serios como la histeria en la paternidad o el sistema carcelario uruguayo. En 2023 vuelve a tomar la pluma creativa y ya lleva escritos 20 nuevos títulos... ¡Y va por más! A este autor no se le puede identificar con género ninguno, pero sí tiene un estilo muy marcado que atraviesa su obra: - Las tramas son atrapantes - Los diálogos entre los personajes tienen una agilidad y una adrenalina propias del cine de acción - Los personajes principales progresan a través de la obra, y el ser que emerge de la novela puede tener escasos puntos de contacto con quien era al inicio - No hay personajes perfectos. Incluso los principales, van de antihéroes a personajes con cualidades destacables, quizás, pero imperfectas. Un poco como cada uno de nosotros, ¿no es así?
