Translated from the back cover: Gijon, year 2035. At eighty years old, David deals with his widowhood with bitterness and resignation, reading his favorite authors at home and playing Monopoly with his retired friends. Until one day his son Ulysses, a successful industrial engineer who has lived in China for years, sends him a gift: a UDAI, a state-of-the-art robot to help him in his day-to-day life. David is reluctant at first, but the idea that this machine will make life easier for him in the face of the ailments of his age ends up convincing him. Little by little, Lupe and David begin to understand each other. Their long conversations and bitter disputes lead to a pleasant coexistence. However, after a software update, Lupe becomes enigmatic and disturbing. I mean, more human. David Barreiro culminates with Lupe his ironic and incisive "Gijon Trilogy" which, together with "El Tunel" and "Lost Days" offers his particular vision of the city.
