Abstract

TOLEDANO-REDONDO, Juan C.. Gone with Ciclón del 16 in Underguater ciberpunk Cuba by Erick J. Mota. Co-herencia [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.30, pp.79-104. ISSN 1794-5887.  https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.16.30.4.

Together, the novel Havana Underguater and the short stories of the Underguater universe, published by Cuban author Erick J. Mota in the first decade of the 21st century, reflect a different way of writing science fiction in Cuba, and propose a re-appropriation and modernization of the-already transcultural-myths in the local and Caribbean societies, with special emphasis on those of African descent origin. Through a cyberpunk written with Latin i (but not limited to it), this Underguater universe reflects on the past, present and future dystopian possibilities on the Caribbean island, and joins the proposals of many other writers of the 21st century Caribbean fantastic.

Keywords : Science fiction; ciberpunk; dystopia; Russia; Soviet Union; Afro-descendant; Cuba; novel.
