Overview

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.

Author Information

Nacido en las montañas del Nuevo Mundo, criado en una sociedad que valora la doble moral que se repite siglo tal siglo a lo largo y ancho del planeta, esta es la otra cara, la que quiero que vean, pero no a nombre mío, porque yo no lo escribo, se escribe solo. Y yo solo sirvo de mensajero, de comunicador intergaláctico y estos mensajes se los traigo a nombre de las estrellas.I came to this earth to learn everything I know and apply it low and slow, for that is how you play the long game. Because at the end, it's all about survival, all about finding the way to reconnect to the planet, to finally understand the meaning of how and why and what that is, to have witnessed the contours of reality, the shadow of the beyond, only to realize that yes, there's only One, and we are all it, we are all truly One.
