Graphic novel \/ Science fiction \/ Dystopian narrative<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

181<\/em> is a science fiction graphic novel written by Jimmy Carrillo and illustrated by Jos\u00e9 Aguilar, inspired by Mosko-Strom<\/em> (1933), the visionary dystopian novel by Peruvian writer Rosa Arciniega. Set in a near-future Lima transformed into the hyper-technological city of Cosm\u00f3polis, the story follows Max Walker, a programmer haunted by fragmented memories while working on an ambitious artificial intelligence project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a dark and atmospheric visual language, 181<\/em> explores themes such as technological alienation, identity, social isolation, surveillance, and the promises \u2014 and dangers \u2014 of progress. The graphic novel revisits one of the earliest works of Latin American speculative fiction and reinterprets it through a contemporary lens shaped by artificial intelligence, digital dependency, and ecological collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was awarded the 4th National Graphic Narrative Prize in Peru, organized by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, the French Embassy in Peru, the Casa de la Literatura Peruana, and the Alianza Francesa de Lima. The jury highlighted the work\u2019s narrative strength, visual identity, and successful adaptation of Arciniega\u2019s original novel into the language of contemporary graphic storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blending dystopian fiction, political reflection, and experimental visual storytelling, 181<\/em> positions the Amazon and Latin America not as peripheral landscapes, but as central spaces for imagining alternative futures and questioning the human cost of technological acceleration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Novela gr\u00e1fica \/ Ciencia ficci\u00f3n \/ Narrativa dist\u00f3pica<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

181<\/em> es una novela gr\u00e1fica de ciencia ficci\u00f3n escrita por Jimmy Carrillo e ilustrada por Jos\u00e9 Aguilar, inspirada en Mosko-Strom<\/em> (1933), la visionaria novela dist\u00f3pica de la escritora peruana Rosa Arciniega. Ambientada en una Lima futurista transformada en la ciudad hipertecnol\u00f3gica de Cosm\u00f3polis, la historia sigue a Max Walker, un programador atrapado entre recuerdos fragmentados y el desarrollo de un ambicioso sistema de inteligencia artificial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trav\u00e9s de una narrativa visual atmosf\u00e9rica y oscura, 181<\/em> explora temas como la deshumanizaci\u00f3n tecnol\u00f3gica, la vigilancia, la p\u00e9rdida de identidad, el aislamiento social y las tensiones entre progreso y memoria. La obra reinterpreta uno de los primeros referentes de la ciencia ficci\u00f3n latinoamericana desde una mirada contempor\u00e1nea marcada por la inteligencia artificial, la hiperconectividad y la crisis ambiental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La novela gr\u00e1fica fue ganadora del Concurso Nacional de Narrativa Gr\u00e1fica del Per\u00fa, organizado por el Ministerio de Cultura, la Embajada de Francia en el Per\u00fa, la Casa de la Literatura Peruana y la Alianza Francesa de Lima. El jurado destac\u00f3 su capacidad para trasladar el universo de Rosa Arciniega al lenguaje contempor\u00e1neo de la narrativa gr\u00e1fica, manteniendo una fuerte identidad visual y conceptual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entre la ciencia ficci\u00f3n, la cr\u00edtica social y la exploraci\u00f3n existencial, 181<\/em> propone una reflexi\u00f3n sobre el futuro de las ciudades, el impacto de la tecnolog\u00eda sobre la experiencia humana y la necesidad de reconectar con aquello que a\u00fan nos hace humanos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
