    About this ebook

    The objective of these writings is to show a reality that is known to few. A paradigm of the world that differs from the ordinary conception of what people call "reality". One of the most important lessons I have learned is that by naming things you are closer to owning them, mastering them, and ultimately understanding them. The names that I will give throughout the book, such as auditorium, sleepers, players, etc., only name concepts that everyone knows, but not having been named, were until today impossible to understand.
