Slnko zapadalo nad Madridom a mäovalo oblohu intenzívnou oran¿ovou farbou, ktorá sa odrá¿ala od okien mrakodrapov, ako keby celé mesto horelo. V malom upchatom byte v srdci Lavapiés sedel Daniel Sánchez pred sple¿ou káblov a blikajúcich obrazoviek a krvou podliate o¿i uprené na nekone¿né riadky kódu. Neustále bzu¿anie po¿ítäových fanú¿ikov bolo ako skreslená uspávanka, jediný zvuk v priestore, ktorý vo¿al zatuchnutou kávou a uschnutými snami. Daniel so svojimi strapatými ¿iernymi vlasmi a nieko¿kod¿ovým strniskom vyzeral skôr ako stroskotanec ne¿ skvelý programátor, ktorým kedysi bol. "Musí existovä spôsob," zamrmlal si pre seba a jeho prsty lietali po klávesnici so zbesilou naliehavos¿ou. "Cesta z tejto diery." Jeho poh¿ad na chví¿u zablúdil k hromade neotvorených listov v rohu jeho stola. Zmenky, oznámenia o vys¿ahovaní, vyhrá¿ky verite¿ov. Kädá obálka bola ¿tip¿avou pripomienkou toho, ako sa dostal do tohto bodu. Daniel zavrel o¿i a dovolil si chví¿u slabosti. Spomenul si na vzru¿enie, adrenalín z tých nie tak dávnych dní, ke¿ sa svet kryptomien zdal by¿ zas¿úbenou krajinou. Investoval v¿etko: svoje úspory, pô¿i¿ky, dokonca aj peniaze po¿i¿ané od priate¿ov a rodiny. A potom, mihnutím oka, v¿etko zmizlo. "Idiot," pokáral sa a udrel päs¿ou po stole. "Mali ste vidie¿, ¿e to prichádza." Zo sebazabudnutia ho vytrhol zvuk mobilu. Bol to Javier, jeho najlep¿í priate¿ a jediný ¿lovek, ktorý v neho stále nestratil dôveru.

Francisco Angulo
Madrid, 1976
Enthusiast of fantasy cinema and literature and a lifelong fan of Isaac Asimov and Stephen King, Angulo starts his literary career by submitting short stories to different contests. At 17 he finishes his first book - a collection of poems - and tries to publish it. Far from feeling intimidated by the discouraging responses from publishers, he decides to push ahead and tries even harder.
In 2006 he published his first novel "The Relic", a science fiction tale that was received with very positive reviews. In 2008 he presented "Ecofa" an essay on biofuels, whereAngulorecounts his experiences in the research project he works on. In 2009 he published "Kira and the Ice Storm".A difficultbut very productive year, in2010 he completed "Eco-fuel-FA",a science book in English. He also worked on several literary projects: "The Best of 2009-2010", "The Legend of Tarazashi 2009-2010", "The Sniffer 2010", "Destination Havana 2010-2011" and "Company No.12".
He currently works as director of research at the Ecofa project. Angulo is the developer of the first 2nd generation biofuel obtained from organic waste fed bacteria. He specialises in environmental issues and science-fiction novels.
His expertise in the scientific field is reflected in the innovations and technological advances he talks about in his books, almost prophesying what lies ahead, as Jules Verne didin his time.
