About the Book
Runtimes is a bold, bilingual English–Spanish literary work that blends speculative fiction, poetic experimentation, and philosophical inquiry. Colombian-American author Lorenzo Bécquer constructs a richly layered, multidimensional narrative that moves between lunar colonies, digital realms, mythic pasts, and future collapse. Through nonlinear storytelling, shifting perspectives, and immersive language play, Runtimes explores themes of surveillance, ancestral memory, consciousness, and transformation.
While expansive in scope, the book is anchored by intimate moments—reflections on family, fatherhood, and the quiet connections that persist through time and space. Blurring the lines between prose and poetry, the personal and the planetary, Runtimes invites readers to question what it means to exist at the edge of a world in transition.

About the Author
Nacido en las montañas del Nuevo Mundo, criado en una sociedad que valora la doble moral que se repite siglo tal siglo a lo largo y ancho del planeta, esta es la otra cara, la que quiero que vean, pero no a nombre mío, porque yo no lo escribo, se escribe solo. Y yo solo sirvo de mensajero, de comunicador intergaláctico y estos mensajes se los traigo a nombre de las estrellas.
I came to this earth to learn everything I know and apply it low and slow, for that is how you play the long game. Because at the end, it’s all about survival, all about finding the way to reconnect to the planet, to finally understand the meaning of how and why and what that is, to have witnessed the contours of reality, the shadow of the beyond, only to realize that yes, there’s only One, and we are all it, we are all truly One.
