The world of the year 2095 that has fallen to Ricardo Hayens, better known as Rick, is very different and very similar to that of today. It is true that technology, so advanced, draws a futuristic picture that is alien to us, but this is no obstacle to our character being trapped in a chain of priorities, joys and frustrations easily recognizable in any citizen of the early twenty-first century. Rick is worried about losing his job and his status, tries to overcome the ups and downs in his relationship with the attractive Nancy and likes to share laughs and careers with his friend and work competitor Jaime Berg. Rick works in a family business dedicated to air travel, in clear decline in favor of successful transportation, which allows its users - including Rick himself and his girlfriend - to move around the planet in a fraction of a second. However, all that glitters is not gold, something that Rick will soon discover. Much to his regret, he will find himself involved in a police case in which he will have to make use of some qualities he thought were lost in order to try to recover normality.
In Almost Transported, a novel that combines elements of thriller and science fiction, Lucas Mola draws a world of anticipation in which real people, with their possibilities and limitations, try to survive in an environment full of hidden dangers.
