In a slightly off-kilter Madrid of the near future, Mar?a, a data analyst, has devoted her career to answering that timeless question with computer programs and algorithms--until a recurring nightmare about worms throws her life into disarray. Others have sought happiness elsewhere: Blasco has turned to internet porn; his wife, Diana, to motherhood; Ang?lica to what she thinks might be love; and the hapless Carlos to substances and a spiritual guide who may or may not be a hack. But in a world increasingly governed by data, are anyone's decisions really their own? Renowned Spanish writer \u003cb\u003ePilar Fraile\u003c\/b\u003e's first novel to be translated into English, \u003cb\u003eEUPHORIA DAYS\u003c\/b\u003e traces the intersecting paths of five workers edging toward middle age and grasping at the cheap thrills of optimization. A comedy of errors that shows what happens when we trade autonomy for the false promises of a data-driven existence, from one of the sharpest writers working in the Spanish language today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Great Place Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950987511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214","brand":"Pilar Fraile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561509351605,"sku":"9781950987511","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fae9f57c-d195-403e-a397-4b749902a1c6.jpg?v=1723525847","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/euphoria-days-9781950987511","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
