From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson―creator of The Stormlight Archive, the Mistborn Saga, and countless bestselling works of science fiction and fantasy―comes this standalone novel showing a rare glimpse of a future Cosmere universe. Running. Putting distance between himself and the relentless Night Brigade has been Nomad’s strategy for years. Staying one or two steps ahead of his pursuers by skipping through the Cosmere from one world to the next. But now, his powers too depleted to escape, Nomad finds himself trapped on Canticle, a planet that will kill anyone who doesn’t keep moving. Fleeing the fires of a sunrise that melts the very stones, he is instantly caught up in the struggle between a heartless tyrant and the brave rebels who defy him. Failure means a quick death, incinerated by the sun… or a lifetime as a mindless slave. Tormented by the consequences of his past, Nomad must fight not only for his survival―but also for his very soul.

Ningún otro lema domina hoy el discurso público tanto como la transparencia. Según Han, quien la refiere solamente a la corrupción y a la libertad de información, desconoce su envergadura. Esta se manifiesta cuando ha desaparecido la confianza y la sociedad apuesta por la vigilancia y el control. Se trata de una coacción sistémica, de un imperativo económico, no moral o biopolítico. Las cosas se hacen transparentes cuando se expresan en la dimensión del precio y se despojan de su singularidad. La sociedad de la transparencia es un infierno de lo igual. Google y las redes sociales, que se presentan como espacios de libertad, se han convertido en un gran panóptico, el centro penitenciario imaginado por Bentham en el siglo XVIII, donde el vigilante puede observar ocultamente a todos los prisioneros. El cliente transparente es el nuevo morador de este panóptico digital, donde no existe ninguna comunidad sino acumulaciones de Egos incapaces de una acción común, política, de un nosotros. Los consumidores ya no constituyen ningún fuera que cuestionara el interior sistémico. La vigilancia no se realiza como ataque a la libertad. Más bien, cada uno se entrega voluntariamente, desnudándose y exponiéndose, a la mirada panóptica. El morador del panóptico digital es víctima y actor a la vez.

Our competitive, service-oriented societies are taking a toll on the late-modern individual. Rather than improving life, multitasking, "user-friendly" technology, and the culture of convenience are producing disorders that range from depression to attention deficit disorder to borderline personality disorder. Byung-Chul Han interprets the spreading malaise as an inability to manage negative experiences in an age characterized by excessive positivity and the universal availability of people and goods. Stress and exhaustion are not just personal experiences, but social and historical phenomena as well. Denouncing a world in which every against-the-grain response can lead to further disempowerment, he draws on literature, philosophy, and the social and natural sciences to explore the stakes of sacrificing intermittent intellectual reflection for constant neural connection.
