Tecnologías futuras andinas en Ángelus Hostis y Andean Sky

This study analyzes two Ecuadorian science fiction works that explore technological futures in the Andes. On the one hand, Angelus Hostis is a cyberpunk graphic novel that imagines an Ecuador in 2120 with nuclear fusion energy and a society controlled by an omnipresent digital network. On the other hand, Andean Sky is a webcomic that focuses on migration and features futuristic aerial and construction technologies in the plot development. Both works address issues such as power, control, human nature and social conflicts in a context of technological development, offering a critical reflection on the technological future of Latin America and the influence of science fiction in the Andean region.

This study analyzes two Ecuadorian science fiction works that explore technological futures in the Andes. On the one hand, Angelus Hostis is a cyberpunk graphic novel that imagines an Ecuador in 2120 with nuclear fusion energy and a society controlled by an omnipresent digital network. On the other hand, Andean Sky is a webcomic that focuses on migration and features futuristic aerial and construction technologies in the plot development. Both works address issues such as power, control, human nature and social conflicts in a context of technological development, offering a critical reflection on the technological future of Latin America and the influence of science fiction in the Andean region.
